i find it amusing that people immediately jumped to "preventing hax0rs" as the main reason behind this. as many comments suggested it is a trivial alteration to the haxxing script to get around the change.
from the announcement:
their main hope and the main reason most gaming companies run these sort of launcher things is to get you to play their other games. the thinking is that they will be able to provide promotion to other games when you load maple. plus easier install of these other games. sadly their launcher is terrible and the game takes ages to load. and i have no intention of joining any of their other games.Nexon Launcher is a unified central location for accessing all of Nexon's games. It automatically keeps your game client up-to-date by updating in the background, even if you're playing MapleStory or another Nexon game.
"Maple down again? try one of our other games etc etc" coming in your near future
And yet they're keeping the Steam launcher, which distracts you into other games that aren't Nexon's. And is often glitchy too.
I don't even use direct launch, but now I feel penalized because I do not get the 10,000 RP and elixirs and all cures and stuff :(
When will Nexon learn they need to hire an experienced Maple hacker to have any chance at slowing them down..
