I am not looking to pirate (this time) I just want to install some specific free games in steam but I don’t like steam, they are offline and have no DRM from what I know either but if they did it’s not that hard to get rid of it anyways.
I just wanted to ask here cuz I would think people here would know for well. Obvious reasons. So ye, Is there any safe way to do this that has the games well updated and all that?
Basically, you’re just looking for PC game stores that carry free games other than Steam, right? In that case, Itch.io is the main place to look. Beyond that, games will primarily be distributed on their developer or publisher’s website. Piracy probably won’t be an easy option, as people aren’t going to put in the work creating/uploading pirate copies of a game thats easily available otherwise.
Edit: Also, I think you may be able to use SteamCMD (Steam’s non-launcher, CLI tool) to download the game if its DRM free.
Something like this in SteamCMD:
