As I’ve said before, I’m not giving up 100% on GOG, BUT I think it is time we try to find options, zoom is another DRM free platform, that seems to support linux to some degree. The library does not seem as promising as GOG but it’s something. Also don’t forget a lot of games on steam are actually DRM free. I love gog, I was a patron until the gen ai came to light, but I’ve seen this cycle of enshitification so much. I don’t have my hopes up is all.

So what does it mean to buy a DRM-free game on Steam? Can I download and play it separate from the Steam client?
You can download the game via steam but then run it from the application file directly without using Steam.
There is also a command line tool for downloading Steam games
Interesting, I’ll have to look more into it. Thanks!
