The update could occur in game like it did before launchers were common. When you would enter the online/multi-player portion of the game it would inform you to update your game in order to use the online services. The game would then download and install the update with the game open then it would restart.

If you’re saying that all games would ship with a launcher because that’s the norm then I agree completely lol.

It’s actually even cheaper. The $70 is for five years.

At least where I’m at you can still get a spicy potato soft taco for $1.

I recently did this switch to the same card and it sounds like it was as painless for you as it was for me.

An issue I had later on was that I still had some Nvidia packeges installed I didn’t know about after removing them with apt. I had to fully search with dpkg to find them. They ended up being the root cause of a seemingly unrelated issue I was having trying to run a game through steam. So yeah make sure to fully purge the Nvidia drivers.
