![]() ![]() The downloaded game is still DRM-free, regardless if it was delivered to you with a web browser, a Steam client, or a pigeon called Jack (who wouldn't deliver it to you until you give it your GOG username and password).ĪB2012: Rather than argue round in circles, I can only put this down to some language barrier as "absolutely any piece of software that connects to a server must be a game client like Steam or Galaxy" simply isn't how most people use "gaming client" for the English definition in the real world (specifically meaning a standalone application created by a digital distribution service solely for itself, and involving a lot more features than pure downloading). Please read carefully:įor many Steam games, the Steam client can used only as a downloader client. You don't have to run those games with the client, you can run them fully standalone by running the game executable file. Those are what people refer to as "DRM-free Steam games". All this talk about a "gaming client" is irrelevant to those games. Yes it is possible we are completely talking past each other. I am talking about whether or not there are DRM-free games on Steam or not. If this is some kind of discussion of "yeah there may be DRM-free games on Steam, but the Steam client itself is "DRM"", then I have no clue what the heck that is supposed to even mean, and I don't find it that interesting discussion anyway, as I only care about the games themselves (whether they have DRM or not), and not about what someone feels about the client I used to download the DRM-free games, saying the downloader client in itself is somehow "DRM", apparently in the same way like the truck that brought me my coffee table was "DRM" while the coffee table itself is DRM-free. ![]() Timppu: So what exactly was the difference again, regarding the DRM-freeness of those games? I don't care about the fucking truck, I care about my coffee table. Please read carefully: For many Steam games you don't have to run those games with the client, you can run the fully standalone by running the game executable file. Considering I'm speaking as someone who's contributed to that Steam DRM-Free list multiple times, as well as being the person who set up the Epic Store equivalent list, I'm very definitely aware of what can be run client-less and how to test for it so no point trying to "educate" me on that. ![]()
