Many games on Steam are DRM free already. Just because it's served on Steam doesn't mean it automatically has DRM.

- theandrewbailey 9y agoOnly if you have a version that exists outside Steam. If a game has been installed through Steam, it must have the Steam client running to play.
- thirdsun 9y agoThat‘s really up to the game developer, who can (and often do) use Steam DRM, but it‘s certainly not mandatory.
- dleslie 9y agoOnly if the Game requires it; that's an API call. Many games you get from Steam can be run without the client.
- eikenberry 9y agoNot true. I know I've been able to run many games by directly running the binary on the filesystem w/o the Steam client running.
