jacob2232 1 Share Posted Friday at 06:54 PM May I edit this page to let people know that it is just a simple drm free API connected to the game so to ensure features tied to it's api works and due to some poor implementation in some games it requires client to be running in the background even when drm free? This is what I mean "Due to poor steamworks integration in some games by having code "if !SteamAPI_Init() { exit(1); }" the game cannot be run without client even when drm free" Edit: so to be more intuitive for people and let them know why sometimes such cases happen without confusing them that steam and steamworks is "DRM" even though it's not drm.

silverkeeper 3 Share Posted Saturday at 05:06 PM I added another negative point to the section: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Digital_rights_management_(DRM)#Steam.2FSteamworks That way we just have to link to it if people want to inform themselves further.

That's nice, and I hope more of these online spaces will notice that and won't worry anymore about drm in pc gaming which then some people think that these stores are drm even when steam and other pc stores are just basic drm free wrapers.
