      It most transactions, the 2 parties are the purchaser and the seller.

      If you buy a game from Steam, using the steam launcher isn’t a third-party launcher.
      If you bought a game directly from EA, their launch isn’t a third-party launcher.
      If you bought the game from Steam, the EA launcher is third-party.

        The steam launcher is still the third party launcher

        If you buy an xbox game from gamestop, you expect to use the xbox launcher not the gamestop launcher
