why is acquiring this game on pc so awkward?

I played elite dangerous a good bit with my friends back when I had ps4. stopped obviously when support stopped coming through for console. sadness, but what you gonna do?

I don't even think the game is amazing by any stretch but it made a damn good turn your brain off for two hours and listen to Spotify podcast companion.

I'm new to pc and bought it yesterday on steam. wi-fi sucks so had to wait a while for download. no problem.

then the annoyance began. trying to log into to that ridiculously designed launcher and log in system was a friggin mission in its own right.

tried to create a new login as I wanted to start fresh from my console, ooooh but frontier says no no no… made a new login and it simply would not register at all to the launcher.

so I try to login with my linked account from Sony, ooooh but frontier says no no no… got caught up in the please enter verification code purchase copy of game loop for an aggravating 3 hours until I could figure out how to fix it.

finally see a play button FINALLY. ooooh but frontier says no no no… you dont even have horizon version updated baby so you gotta do that first. i cant even do it through steam has to be the launcher and the download has an eta of 3 days… cant even play legacy version while I wait for it. like why would the download from steam not just be the updated horizon version to begin with? infuriating.

i just wanna fly a spaceship and listen to podcasts in my free time. does that make me a villain?
