    This seems a bit like missing the forest for the trees. Steam does not really let you know if the game is DRM-free, does not guarantee it will stay that way, and does not provide a reliable way to back these games up in a way where they could be used without the launcher.

      Supporting DRM-free games is key either way, but being fair there’s A LOT of work to be done to make it more accessible. GOG’s installers for instance are not better than compressing a game’s files yourself. Certainly hope they’re working on better installers. If it was in my hand I’d have them employ someone who makes game repacks. Anyway, I’ll take a peek and push for Steam to tag games as DRM-free when they are.
