A launch profile contains information about which "packages" the game requires, as well as instructions on how to launch a program, and what configuration options can be set. News feeds and server status are also provided on a per-profile basis. Launch profiles are used in combination with the Homecoming Launcher. A "package" is a collection of files that are required for the game to run. There can be multiple packages.
