Steam don’t disclose it, there’s no tag or label on the store page. Which is fucking shitty, either oversight or business decision. So you would never know unless you tried launching the executable yourself, looked it up online or the game was marketed that way.
maybe they didnt add it cause
“The DRM is noteable for only protecting against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying game files between friends), and is primarily used by game developers to ensure proper Steam/Steamworks API functionality within their games for legitimate users.” Source

But yeah, with GOG, you just instantly know.
But don’t they do it for external drm?
Yeah for external DRM, but if a game has Steam DRM, then there’s no official label or warning.
For example, Witcher 3 is DRM-free on Steam, but there’s nothing (AFAIK) on the Steam page saying that.

Extremely casual piracy? I suppose fair point.

maybe like copying game files and putting them on sites for anyone(like lots and lots of people) to download?
I donno
