      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

        The company that created/published the game is the first party.

      But what is the first and second party then? It’s all subject to the definition.
