FYI: Launchbox has bible quotes on the About page
TLDR; Launchbox, an app for launching games, has bible quotes on the About page. This is not disclosed anywhere. Back in August I purchased a premium license for Launchbox because I wanted to support development. Recently I started getting errors upon launching Launchbox, so I looked at the About page to find out which version I had installed. To my surprise I found a bible quote on the bottom of the dialog. Yes, there is religious rhetoric plastered on the About page of a game launcher. No, I don't understand why either. I am not religious. I'm not a fan of religions. While I support the right of others to follow a religion if they so choose, I try to avoid products from companies that advertise their beliefs and attach it to their advertising or products because it doesn't align with my principles. Though I can't say I understand the need for including a religious quote on the About page of a game launcher, I recognize that the author or authors are free to include it if they desire. But I would expect to be made aware of this before I hit the buy button. As nice as Launchbox is, if I had known about this beforehand I would not have purchased a license. I asked Unbroken Software for a refund, which was denied due to me being past the first month. I guess that's on me for not thinking to check the About dialog of a games launcher for any religious rhetoric within the first month of purchase. My core issue was left unaddressed and they have yet to respond to my follow up. The launcher is fine. The undisclosed bible quotes on the About dialog, to me, are not.
