I am skeptical that a company that chose to do what they did with installCore, has given up on being shady.

Would it be worthwhile to add an additional metric for people who now own Steam Decks? Like we could select which version we bought (or will buy in approximately 48 days once my reservation is eligible) and what tools/tweaks we use.

You only need to login once, you can continue to play offline if the servers shutdown. I verified it a little while ago, the offline mode kicks in after 10 seconds of no response from the server.

I just verified by disabling my internet connection, there is an offline mode that kicks in after 10 seconds of no response from the server. Since I logged in previously it assumed the same account.

Quoting: dmoonfireI also recall that the developer said you only had to log in the first time, then you could play the game disconnected. I don't remember having to log in again after the first time but even if it is, my Steam games log far more activity and I'm willing to accept that.
For a small development, it is an impressive game and very enjoyable, though difficult since it took me forever to figure out how to make coal properly.

Buy To Play
I guess you could say it's a form of DRM, but typically what people refer to as DRM is third-party software built-in to the game which this doesn't have.
That doesn't mean much, it's the same deal with Minecraft. You could have acquired a copy of the game from a friend you want to play with. However since this is not a subscription based service (where you can download it free but need to pay monthly to play), you need to verify in some way that you did indeed buy it at some point, and logging in with an account is the least invasive option in my opinion.
EDIT: Also I installed the flatpak version, so clearly having a copy of the game verifies nothing. And I just tested it with my internet disabled, there is an offline mode that lets you play singleplayer as long as you logged in at least once before.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyNot without reaching out . . . but for all the games I play, the reaching out doesn't have to be successful.Sure sure, but you will need to connect to Steam for any multiplayer that uses Steam's services. They could separate the singleplayer gameplay but they choose not to. *shrug* Logging in with an account is the least invasive option in my opinion and I'll take that over 3rd-party software any day.

That's not exactly DRM, your account verifies you bought the game. It would be the same if you wanted to play a B2P game on Steam but you need to log in first on the Steam client. Yes it's still required.

From what I recall you need to create an account and login when installing the game and then authenticate with their servers each time you want to play the game.
