That’s nice. A wonder this survived so long. On PC it died 2 decades ago. Except for old games and some rare special ones like witcher3.
Legally at least.
I boycotted steam for years when it started because I knew this was the end of trading games or owning them.
Then I gave up because resistance was futile and now I have like 100k in games I will never own and would loose if steam was gone.
You can still buy lots of DRM-free games today, most notably on GOG, but many offline games on Steam also ship without DRM and can be launched without running Steam.
Yeah, a lot of people don’t know that a decent number of games on Steam have no DRM and you can just archive the installation (make a portable copy so to speak).
