Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch on Steam without the clutching, hateful tendrils of the EA app

Varric looking serious in The Veilguard.

It's bad enough that we have apps launching our apps. While I tolerate Steam purely as a matter of convenience, every additional layer of software between me and the executable I'm seeking is a distance I'm forced to further stray from God's light. But a launcher launching another launcher? That's a crime against human decency, and no perpetrator is worse than the EA app. 

Luckily, according to a tweet from BioWare, Dragon Age: The Veilguard won't require the EA app to launch on Steam. "We'll be Steam native - meaning the EA App will not be required to play the game," it says. The curse is finally loosening.
