    Some games include launchers for practical reasons. Launchers allow you to change settings before having the game up, for example, which can be nice. They also sometimes can do mod management, though this is less common. Paradox does mod management through the launcher, for an example of that.

    Usually the launchers suck though and only slow things down, but you can also usually use an argument to skip them.

      Or you can change options after the game launches, like a normal game.

        A lot of times I just want to make a quick change for later without actually having to fire up the game. Even if I’m not interested in playing it anytime soon.

        Weird, I know, but I have ADHD so if I don’t do something the moment an idea pops into my head, within seconds I forget and the thought is lost forever. It’s so bad that I’ll often finish a sentence without having any idea how or why I started it.
