Skip launcher screen, skip if there's no update; or at least let me play the game using the controller. #1268

The idea

If there's no update for the game, there's no reason to pop the launcher.

If I'm mirroring my computer to game in another device and all I have with me is a controller, it's not very helpful to have to go through the launcher every time.

So the less players need to interact with the launch screen, the better.

Any of those would be nice:

  • Automatically launch the game once it confirms there's no update;
  • Just let me skip it whenever I want, maybe using a command line or a setting;
  • Or let me press "A" on my controller to play the game.

Thanks!

Thanks, good points for controller-only play. Listed in the feature requests collection #1007 (launcher: auto-start when there's no update, a skip option, A to play); closing this in favour of it.
