    Other way around, according to the article: the launcher considers it a mod for MWF 2 and as such it can only be launched by first entering the lobby of MWF2. It has no independently launchable executable file.

      This is very wrong. They’ve been doing this with Warzone (which is free-to-play) for a while. If you try to launch MW2 from the launcher when you don’t own it it just takes you to a page to buy it. There’s no way they would lock you out of a game you own just because you don’t own another game in the launcher. Not defending the practice though still completely ridiculous you have to launch the MW2 launcher first.

        Oh. Guess first reading the article at 4am my time DID impair reading comprehension somewhat! My bad 😄

        Still a bizarre way to to it, though

        I honestly don’t know. The contents of the short article linked in the OP is literally all I know about the third of the modern warfares 😄
