So, why the stealth then?

Why not tell us what it does instead of just linking us to some unknown, unqualified, and perhaps unnecessary install file?

What you're describing seems like yet another social network, and LAWDY knows we don't have enough of that crap floating around. That's not what concerns me though.

My concern is a dumb-link to and executable install file as if I should trust En-Masse with my PC security just because I pay for one of their games.

Sorry, Not buying.

Things that make ya go "Hmmmmmm"

Because they have limited space to explain what it does on the launcher.

Then, Nettiquette, and clearly established trust building procedure, would see that link point to a description page with included download link, rather than a blind download.

PHOOEY!

Yeah - I clicked on it expecting some sort of information, and instead it just starts downloading which spooked me out a bit.

No thanks.

Agreed. I clicked for more information and got an install file instead.

I had to go out to a search engine to find out what this thing was.

This actually caused issues with Ventrilo once I installed. So i opted against installing this.

I like it, it keeps track of how long I have played and of all my other games. PS3 Trophies etc etc.
