    Most games on Steam are DRM-free and you can start them without a launcher (meaning Steam).

    So you can buy a game, download it, copy game files, refund, keep playing.

          I saw another source that claimed ~25% of the top-rated games are DRM-free, so it seems to be quite lopsided. And even moreso if you happen to like indie games I imagine

            I happen to like Open source games the most, with some exceptions :D but OpenTTD is one of my most favourite games. I wish games were made open-source like decade after release.

                I completely forgot about it, which is a damn shame, but Beyond All Reason, open-source game inspired by Total Annihilation, is a massive RTS, with PvP, PvE, 32k unit limit, absolute madness of a game. Haven’t played it as much, but I will come back to it.

                Game can do more than 150 players in a single game. It’s usually 16 players max, but I can send you vids of some massive games if you would like.
