Steam, Origin, Twitch, Uplay, GOG, Epic.
It doesn't bother me like some other people. Whatever.

Steam, and, epic, battle.net. I'm not looking for more. I have not played an ea game since they left steam besides games they have on steam. A friend will probably want me to get fallout 76 so I will sadly probably have to get it.
Steam, Origin, Bnet.
I think I own a couple of games on GoG, do they have a launcher? I lost track.

Uplay
I just uninstalled Battle.net since I've stopped playing Overwatch and that was my only reason to have it.
I should do the same with Origin. It's there gathering dust.
The W10 Store I uninstalled it since it didn't work on my PC, tons and tons of issues.

Is it easy to uninstall that? I assumed any pieces of Microsoft software were "off limits."
Steam, Origin, Twitch, Gog Galaxy and while it's not really a launcher, I guess, I have ScummVM to play the old Leisure Suit Larry games I have from Gog. I had Epic launcher for a bit to play the Unreal Tournament beta, or alpha, or... whatever it was and I had Bethesda's launcher installed for a while to play Fallout Shelter, but now I just play the Windows 10 version.
I'll install Battle Net if I want to play WoW, Diablo 3 on PC, or StarCraft 2, but it's been a while.
I don't mind having more than one launcher installed. I actually like not having to rely solely on Steam for everything.

More than I thought considering I use Steam 99.9% of the time.

Origin
GOG
Epic Games Launcher
GTA V
I've used Uplay before but I haven't installed it in like two years. I have some Twitch games but I've never installed whatever client they use. And I've never used any of the others.

this plus gta v launcher, bethesda launcher, star citizen rsi launcher, and elder scrolls online launcher its absolutely ridiculous one of the most annoying parts of pc gaming
edit: i freaking forgot about the windows store for my gamepass stuff
its possible but not recommended plus i think i might've read its very hard to get back if for whatever reason you need to
Steam
GoG
Uplay
Battle.net
Epic Games Launcher
Uninstalled Origin. It's a terrible client that has been getting even shittier with time and EA has a terrible library with no games I give a shit about. I just downloaded a DRM-free .exe for The Saboteur which is the one game I actually play.

I use whatever.
Complaining that a game isn't a steam-release online is incredibly limiting and really silly IMO

8 or 9. Maybe it's just because I grew up playing games before Steam on PC. That I just had desktop icons and mods we're just a folder affair that it doesn't really bother me.
Forgot about Rockstar client, Social Games Club, I own GTA V on that, and LA Noire + GTA IV from Steam launches with it I believe.
In the order that I use them most:
No individual game launchers, and there hasn't really been any installed for a long period of time since I used to play MMOs years ago. I had the R* launcher for GTAV for a while, along with the Epic launcher for Paragon 2 years ago. And yeah Discord if you want to count it, with it being almost always running but not used to launch games.

I use shortcut for everything so they don't really matter.

I don't have any right now. But single game launchers dont really bother me.
don't want anymore normal launchers though. They get annoying doing stuff in the background or telling me friends are online , even though I thought I completely closed them.

Some of the games from the launchers have rocket launchers as well, like Quake Champions for example.

Steam
Battle.net Launcher: (Still bugs me this exists, there wasn't a need for it, it's buggy and can be a resource hog compared to Steam)
Uplay: (Only issue I had was with Driver San Francisco years ago where I couldn't play it because of their Uplay servers were overloaded and the game would stutter)
I tolerate Uplay because Ubisoft still sell their games on Steam, completely useless client though. I don't use any of its features, besides the stupid point rewards in games.
Avoiding any other clients like the plague, completely unnecessary.
I do have stuff like Warframe and Elder Scrolls online as well, not sure I'd put in the same launcher category as the above though, both through Steam.

steam, origin (exclusives), uplay (exclusives (mostly bought through steam, which is dumb but whatever)), GOG (exclusives), epic (fortnite), battle.net (destiny), microsoft store (xbox play anywhere).
steam obviously gets the most use but i don't feel any particular loyalty to it. the ship of having every game in a single list has long since sailed, not worth getting angry about.
