Apparently, Valve keeps getting builds that were never run through Steam at all, which is how games end up with broken launch options or missing depots.

Everyone assumes it's just to stop the slop, but I had the same issue with gta4. Could not get past its launcher.

    I fucking despise Rockstar's launcher and their fucking idiotic overlay that is bound to the Home button against my fucking will.

    "Oh you know that button on your keyboard that you paid for? Yea that's like, our property while the game runs, fuck you."

    Shame on me for buying Rdr2 on sale, should've just pirated it and ignored multiplayer.

    Thought multiplayer would be similar to the main game. My fucking ass. First random mission I tried had me hauling zombie corpses while getting shot by crazy priests controlling said zombies. Fuck that.
