Out of the non-free games 2/6 platinum games have DRM. 8/9 gold games have drm.
And that’s ignoring DRM via being live service game without support for self hosting server (a big portion if you also check the silver games).
Disclaimer, I used perplexity.ai to ask if each individual game included drm or not. Ignoring DRM that is one time verification and support offline play.
This new law should absolutely include every game store on the Internet.
If you buy a game on GOG, you can download the game and put it on 100 USB sticks and sell each one of them with a fully working copy for perpetuity. You buy the game on GOG. Just because the shop may go down doesn’t mean you lose your product.

What are platinum and gold games?
Almost all of the games in my library can be played without steam, except for the online games obviously.
The steam link should explain it, it’s the biggest games on steam in terms of revenue.
Obviously multiplayer games are not going to be able to be played without DRM.
I’m tired of repeating myself. Have a good weekend.
Did you miss the part where I said I mostly excluded them?
I missed the part where I cared about this conversation anymore. Enjoy your weekend!
> claims most steam games are drm free
> shown that most games that people play aren’t drm free
Alright 🙄
