A large fraction of Valve's own games are DRM-free (despite using Steamworks when launched through Steam !) : https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_DRM-Free_Games_on_Steam#Valve https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_DRM-Free_G... Also, there isn't a single Steam DRM, but multiple versions/layers : https://www.gog.com/forum/general/how_to_run_steam_games_offline_forever_tutorial/page1 https://www.gog.com/forum/general/how_to_run_steam_games_off... The worst of which are Valve's own Custom Executable Generation, and Denuvo, which is third-party but (last time I checked) Steam doesn't warn you about as being a 3rd-party DRM. Both of which make a game machine-specific.

To be honest though, the Valve Custom Executable DRM is pretty easy to bypass. There are automated tools that make it pretty much trivial. I won't link them because it's technically illegal in the US. Denuvo is the most difficult one, yes. It's technically not DRM, but anti-tampering software that wraps around another DRM, that said it is really the worst.
