Fuck I miss just having the game's executable.
Thatās gog, itch, or epic
Definitely not Epic? No idea where you got that. They downstall like Steam does. GOG and Itch, yes. I got Micro Mages off of itch and its a cool game.
A lot of games on Epic donāt have DRM (like GoG itās developer opt in) so you can just launch the exe without opening Heroic
Same is true for games on Steam if the developer decides not to use Steam integration (some features like achievements are ok I think). For example Noita doesn't need Steam running, you can just copy the folder to another machine AFAIK
also there are Steam emulators
not entirely certain, but i think that applies to almost all steam features, not just achievements.
steam's DRM, is, afaik, entirely opt-in.
so it's entirely up to the, let's be real, publisher wether they want to use it or not.
(although, again, afaik...)
Havenāt found any that donāt request Steam but, in that case we should only include itch
