well thats stupid, i thought that it was seperate from minecraft but it turns out that u do need minecraft so i think its an idiotic system, there should be a technic launcher only login and a minecraft only login -.-

What game do you think that Technic runs on? Yes, minecraft. It's like the normal minecraft launcher but with some mods on top of it.

Why is it stupid that you can't play a game without paying for it? That is like going into McDonalds and asking for a Cheeseburger and then asking where you line up to not pay.
