I play a bunch of games that use clients and then where put on steam, so to me.playing them through steam and using steam stuff or the regular companies stuff is just normal I thought. Though i noticed a systematic attempt by random users to quash the information.
As people made links almost from day one. Personaly not sure why they go to the lengths to stop having these linked. Oh yes i did need two copies of the game, as the copy on steam had the extra information to access the steam servers and such i guess. But after the constant changes the steam client would do i got tired of changing things back over and over. I also used the steam client to purchase items too. I have screen shots of playing my characters on the steam only servers in fact. Though steam would for whatever reason seem to need to update and alter files. It used to be you could simply copy all the non steam black desert online files on top of the black desert online directory of steam, then just alter the launcher config file.and it would run your regular non-black desert online on the steam platform and even let you use the steam stuff for it. Its funny I dont think this will work anymore but.
