I can download game through steam, then copy the entire downloaded directory to external drive, copy that game directory to another computer, “double click game.exe” and play the game?
Right?
- mrkramer 2y agoSteam was always meant as an easy way to distribute and update games. It was never meant as a licensing machine.
- beretguy 2y agoAye, thank you.
- ElevenLathe 2y agoYes, if the game doesn't have its own DRM or use Valve's (this is admittedly mostly older and indie games these days). You can even use it to manage/sync games/applications that aren't distributed on Steam: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4B8B-9697-2338-40EC https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4B8B-9697-2338-40.... I believe this will actually sync those files to Valve's servers and allow you to install them on other machines with Steam installed. This was a feature to drive adoption in the very early days of Steam when basically all it was good for was downloading Counterstrike patches.
- beretguy 2y agoSounds good. Thank you.
