Hello! I've noticed a trend with new-ish launcers doing things like this.

This is sort of nonsense, and it looks sketchy as hell. This one in particular, since I don't remember starting the launcher. All I got was the weird popup asking for serious permissions from my user account's temp folder. I had to pull up both of the scripts to figure out that it was the paradox launcher.

I'm not sure what most folks would do, but I don't believe training people to say Yes to a popup like this is a good idea.

I am sure what I'm going to do -- uninstall the paradox launcher. It was a good test, but for me not worth running alongside Steam.

I do love you as a studio and publisher of games. Good luck!
