    Personally i like to use the Nexon Launcher.

    Main reason is because you can't sign in and out of steam. Once the account is linked its locked for good. Steam nor Nexon can/will un link it.

    Nexon Launcher main reason is because they fked up the game and how it works so you can't use multiple accounts on Steam. So I use the poorly optimized launcher, no salt thrown at Nexon themselves but the Nexon launcher is not a great addition and honestly isn't necessary. Sure it looks pretty but I've heard and experienced tons of problems about them.

    Nexon Launcher since steam can't login to multiple accounts

    I use Nexon launcher simply because I didn't know it was on steam back in the day and never switched over since.

    I use steam just to have all my game updates and stuff tracked in one place. It's nice being able to just copy the game files into the steam directory if I need to update or reinstall the game on my other computer, last I checked the Launcher doesn't recognize it when you try that.

    Also had a bunch of issues with the launcher like the play button getting greyed out and infinite patch times/checks that only seem to be fixed by restarting the launcher entirely or sometimes by reinstalling the game. Not worth the hassle for me when I only really use one account these days.

    I think steam is the better one since it tracks your playtime and whatnot, plus it's nice to only have to deal with one launcher, for the most part.

    Though one might argue that the best launcher is no launcher at all...

    Why? Steam eats memory and Nexon launcher allows multiple accounts.

    Its pretty much a win win.

    i guess mainly the convenience of having all my games in one place, and ease of use to friends chat.

    I use the nexon launcher, but I really miss the standalone client (I did at some point use it last year, but felt buggy because the update derps on me at times so why bother the trouble).

    Perfectly valid reason and that's probably the same reason why steam itself is very good. What I feel is that a large population of people just dont have the computer power to run Vindictus smoothly an
