Gog provides DRM free installers when buying games at their store

And plenty of steam games are DRM-free too.

I really wish steam made it clear though. Should have to come with a tag stating DRM/no DRM. Shit, let us filter games by its DRM status.

Don't all games on Steam get the basic DRM treatment?

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's optional

However, because steam doesn't tell you which games are DRM, and companies have been known to arbitrarily add DRM in updates, I generally treat steam games as being DRM games
