"Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper 5 a day machine activation limit"

"Requires 3rd-Party Account: Ubisoft Connect Launcher (Supports Linking to Steam Account)"

Swing and a miss, still not getting my money Ubisoft.

So the companies that screw me over with Intel ME and AMD PSP are joining forces ? Consider me wanting to get off X86 to RiscV or Power9 even more than before.

Could have fooled me as I own hundreds of Linux games from GOG. I find Steam's stance on DRM free to be lacking. I know you were trying to take a dig at GOG's lack of a Linux client but I am one of the people who don't want a client. GOG's offline installers give me exactly the experience I want.

That isn't how IP works. You don't 'own' anything you buy outside of the public domain or CC so long as someone else' IP is an integral component of whatever.

I have the install files on my HDD and there is no taking them back. I can do with them as I please. Possession is 9/10 of the law as they say. They can come at me if they want for license crap but good luck finding out what I do with files on my personal system. They can ban my GOG account but that only screws me for future updates. That's more freedom than most Steam users have.

Quoting: sourpuzInteresting, how do you prefer to install them? I've had mixed results with Lutris and Bottles. For some games it's excellent, others - which should run via Wine - seem to be hopeless.
And I'm a little wary of the install scripts on lutris.net, I found one of them downloading some shady stuff.

I usually use Heroic Game Launcher to launch the game and configure it to use DXVK/VKD3D/Esycn/Fsync/etc. To install them I just right click and choose to open the installer with Wine. I have had games work better than Proton this way and had others work worse. I use Lutris for native Linux games but prefer HGL for Windows games.

Quoting: satorideponI think Valve must add an option for developers to mark their games as DRM-free, because many people apparently don't know that it's possible on Steam too and that some games they may have purchased are DRM-free

I would agree that they should add that. I for one know about it but so far the only way I can find out on a per game basis is the say so of some randos on the internet which isn't good enough for me. I don't have to guess with GOG.

I'm sure it will help somebody but in this case I doubt i'd use it. I'd treat it like GOG and use Wine and HGL instead.

I prefer Lutris over HGL for it's interface. I use Lutris for native Linux games and HGL for Wine games as I find it easier to get Esync and Fsync working on HGL. Thanks for the effort Mathieu and best of luck to you !
