Is there a way through steam to see your owned drm free games (or in owned)?

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

The steam store page of a game should to tell on the right sidebar if

  • it uses 3rd party DRM
  • or online-only restriction
  • or requires 3rd party account sign-in

All of these are marked in a visible yellowish frame below the steam-feature list.

If it uses DRM that is not 3rd party, I think that means it uses Steam DRM, which is not common in my experience. This one is also kind of easy to patch out, or at least it was the last time I did so which was years ago

Yea, I thought gamma was talking about steam games that don't have steam drm. Aka drm free steam is still a drm and unless I'm dumb most games have steam drm.

I don't think so. most often you just need to put a steam emu's dll besides it, and that's because most games are not coded to handle when steam was not installed. when a game has steam drm, you have to use an additional program that modifies the game's executable. so far I only had to do this once

I know steam has an option to add non steam games to the launcher so you can see and launch through it. Iirc it's at the bottom left of the games list.
