You wouldn't be able to play any games then lmao. No CDPR games. Rockstar, blizzard, EA, ubi, Sony. Microsoft. Korean games. Most MMOs.

I'm pretty sure the logic intended is that they'd remove their launchers to stay on steam

I read this as banning something like lutris and was very confused.

If they did ban launchers most the big companies would not do what you want and just not release on steam.

Disagree. Most big companies have tried the way of not releasing on Steam, and almost everyone came back over the years because they realized a lot more people buy your game if it's on Steam.
