RSS Feed|Apple Podcasts|SpotifyGreetings goobers, goblins and gamers, welcome back to the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast! How’s your week been so far? I am writing this from ~the past~ as I’m actually out of the office this week, enjoying some much-needed time off. Will I currently be doing all my errands I’ve been putting off, or sitting on my arse playing games? Only future Mollie knows.If future Mollie is sat on her butt ignoring her responsibilities in favour of videogame pixel people, she’s probably doing it from her Steam library. It’s just one of the many game launchers vying for our attentions, yet it continues to dominate as most people’s preferred choice. But what about the Epics of the world? TheUbisoftConnects, the EA Apps, and won’t someone please think of the Amazon Games?We’ll be talking all about PC game launchers, and who better to talk about it with than the man who ranked a whole bunch of ‘em earlier this year? Robin Valentine heroically stuffed his PC full of launchers and gave them all a whirl, slapping a percentage on each one. You should absolutely go and read his fantasticlauncher rankingASAP, but don’t forget to come back and listen to us talk about it afterwards.Are you a loyal, diehard Steam user? Perhaps all of the Epic freebies lured you in and now you don’t dare use anything else, or you’re one of the few who reliably and regularly resyncs their libraries to GOG for the ultimate centralised platform. Whatever you do, we’d love to hear about it. Make sure to head over to thePC Gamer forums, where we’ll have a thread set up about this week’s episode.You can check out the PC Gamer Chat Log podcast on a whole bunch of podcast platforms:Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsStitcherCastboxAmazon MusiciHeartRadioPodcast AddictAnd more!If you prefer some faces to go with your voices, you can also check out the podcast over on YouTube:Don’t forget to check us out over on thePC Gamer forums, too!
