Hollow Knight's trailer took me by surprise, not only do the graphics and animations look really sweet, but the gameplay actually looks rather good. I think this is one I'm really going to have to keep an eye on.
The developers say it will release in 2016 for Linux and other platforms. It looks like it will have both a DRM free release, as well as a Steam version.

Quoting: Doc AngeloQuoting: JOndra91Steam itself is sort of DRM, because you need Steam to install the game. You can't just download the installer.
That's true. You have to use the client and login at least one time to download the game files. On GOG you can login in to their website to download the game files directly. From that point on, there is no difference between GOG and Steam regarding DRM free games.
Depends what you can do and what you are (legally) allowed to do. Last time I checked the permit to play (any) game on Steam is a valid acount, so in principle you are not allowed to play it without verifying (by logging in / starting from the Steam client) that you do.
At least for me this is the main reason why I boycot it....

Hm. This doesn't sound good. In the Steam User Agreement they state:
QuoteTo make use of the Content and Services, you must have a Steam Account and you may be required to be running the Steam client and maintaining a connection to the Internet.
So it sound like you are allowed to start certain Content without running the client or having internet connection. But it seems that you must have an account. Well - what are they actually saying? Just an account? Or a valid/active one?

Wow. It's sad to see the comment section on such a beautiful game devolve into a completely irrelevant debate about DRM and Steam.

I agree, and we do have a forum thread for that discussion.

Thanks for the head up. I didn't mean to interrupt the discussion about this game.
Anyway, this game will likely end up on my wishlist. I really dig the art style. Especially the "film grain". I wonder how it turns out in real time. The grain is not really visible in the videos as it is in the screenshots.
