Bethesda will be shutting down the Bethesda.net Launcher on PC, plans to migrate to Steam

There's going to be one less launcher to deal with on the PC platform soon. Bethesda is throwing in the towel in regards to its Bethesda.net games launcher for PC, with plans to shut the launcher down completely by this May. Originally launched in 2016, the Bethesda.net launcher was the company's alternative to Steam, where they would begin to exclusively launch games such as Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls: Legends solely on their platform for PC. It wasn't long before Bethesda made its way back to Steam in mid-2019, bringing with it titles like DOOM Eternal and Wolfenstein: Youngblood, though it still kept Bethesda.net updated and continued to release games on it.

If you used Bethesda.net for any games, Bethesda will be offering an account migration, where you can transfer your games from the platform and own them on Steam instead. You'll still need a Bethesda.net account to play your games on Steam, but you will no longer need Bethesda.net's launcher itself. Saves will be transferrable as well, according to the company, letting players move their game progress and modpacks into the Steam versions, with the single exception of Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

The account migration will begin in early April, and Bethesda will inform those with Bethesda.net accounts when the time comes.

No, we understand your point, we just think it's stupid.
Your attempt to belittle our side and dodge our counterarguments makes you look even dumber. This entire post is just full of unholy amounts of cringe and self ego-jerking.

We've given you plenty of reasons to change your mind and you instead insist that everyone else is wrong and you're always right and we're just simple minded "sheep", well you aren't even worth arguing with. You're better off just leaving this thread because if you continue you're going to be laughed at.
Yes.
