    That’s just a by-product of how Steam works. Playtime is counted as long as the Play button says “Stop”.

    For games without DRM (e.g. KSP), you can launch it from the Steam install folder without Steam running. Everything works perfectly but your playtime won’t be counted for the same reason.

      Coincidentally, ksp also uses the 2k launcher as it was published* by a take two label, private division (rip)

      *after they bought the ip

        It does but only because of the default Steam executable. It can be run directly without the launcher.
