Do you use Steam or Client for POE?

Hello Hello,

Was curious as to what you all play on.

I do have both a Steam and original POE account, I'm like a double agent 🥸

Why have two POE accounts? Good question (I wanted those Steam trading cards)

I don't hate POE, but I want something back for when I spend 10 bucks on a hat (steam trading cards), soul for a soul

Also, haven't used my Steam POE account in a while, so I am back. Yippie

Standalone. It's nice not needing a middle man client like Steam.

Steam.

I'd much rather deal with Valve's web servers than GGG's.

I noticed quite a few people posting in Technical Support about error messages they would get while attempting to update to 3.27. All of them were citing standalone client-exclusive error messages, and I couldn't find a single Steam user despite specifically looking.

Standalone Client, even on Linux.

Only ever used the steam client on my steamdeck whenever they merged accounts. No real reason other than I don't want to load steam everytime I play.

i prefer if i can switch between either. but after a long time i got used to using steam.

Standalone because of linux. I prefer having all my poe related apps gathered in one proton prefix.

Standalone: I already avoid Steam enough and download stuff with SteamCMD; standalone clients are easier :p

I also played on Linux and didn't need extra complexity involved.

Standalone client of course, why would i voluntarily get datamined by even more companies?

GGG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tencent.

Pick your poison.

Sixjoy. I know what ive signed up for with company developing the game.

I dont have control over deal between company and Steam, when using Steam client and account. In past, Steam been sharing infos obtained from player whos using their service, with developer of other game. I wouldnt trust them even to hold dog leash, not using and will never use Steam.
