Skip 2K Launcher (Easiest Way) [Obsolete]

Note: This guide is no longer valid as the game launcher has been removed by the developer.

Go to the right side and select the gear icon on the game page

Now select the Properties from the drop-down list

In the general section, scroll down a bit, there you can find a box under the heading Launch Options where you can type

Please type the command given below in the box

"BioShockHD" -run %command%

and Voila your game will now directly launch without opening the 2K launcher.

I've added a youtube video of the same on how to do it. Please check the video below

This keeps the game from launching for me.

Glad it works for others. Didn't work for me. Nice work, though.

Thank you very much. That was a nice tip. I don't need the launcher. I paid for the game, not the launcher.

You, my good friend, are worthy of praise.
Thanks for sharing !!

Thank you all again for the comments, means a lot to me! Thank you for the all the awards too! @Shadowking58 I'm not sure about them snooping the data, but mandatory agreement to TOS pretty much gives them permission to access at least some personal data I believe.

So uh genuine question if I already agreed to their TOS and stuff because I didn't look at or know about the need to skip it will they still be able to snoop my data if I use this?

Would you kindly gift this guide a steam award?

Screenshot and enjoy this fix around while we can until 2K sicks a mod team on this discussion board and silences everyone skirting their horrendous update.

A man chooses, a slave obeys

...but in this case I obey. Thank you Hylax
