Skunk: I purchased Frozen Synapse Soundtrack Edition from Gamersgate. It's certainly an original game, using a simultaneous turn system, the likes of which I haven't seen in a very long time, but I can't say I'm at all fond of it. At least not yet, anyway. I'm hoping it'll grow on me. To clarify, the GamersGate version can't be activated on Steam (not that I give a damn). A key is provided that is used solely to create an account to play online. It's not needed for future installation.
In other words, as far as single player goes, the game is totally DRM free, and as far as multiplayer goes, it's simply a login with an account that you paid for. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any form of hotseat or LAN play, which means everyone must buy the game to play together, but all in all it's a very fair way of handling things.
Somebody here said that you could download FLAC and other formats for the soundtrack for the Steam version, but I didn't see any word of that in the sticky on the Steam forum page. Unfortunately, GamersGate provides only the MP3s. I'm not that keen on the music enough to care either way, but I'd have preferred FLAC. Unless it's been resolved today, recipients of gift copies of the soundtrack edition from Steam haven't gotten soundtracks, only the people who bought the bundle.
The GamersGate version includes both the full soundtrack edition (the MP3 download is listed on the download page for the soundtrack edition as an extra) and mac edition to gift. I don't know whether the Steam version lets you launch the game outside of Steam, but that's obviously a non-issue with GamersGate.
Overall, I'd say go with the GamersGate version unless you really like achievements or something. Of course, I'm biased as all hell to the point where I'd say the best perk of the GamersGate version is that Steam doesn't get any money from it. ;)
Bah this just sucks. I am usually not into game soundtracks, but still the audiophile side of my head is conflicting with my DRM-Free side. Audiophile side is saying don't pay for lossy crap it's only $3 for the better version. But the DRM-Free side is saying, don't get tied down to steam's DRM when a DRM-Free version is available and $3 less lol.In other words, as far as single player goes, the game is totally DRM free, and as far as multiplayer goes, it's simply a login with an account that you paid for.

This should solve your problem, hopefully: :) http://forums.mode7games.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3469&p=13322&hilit=without+steam+client#p13322

Somehow I overlooked saying this yesterday, but I was playing Frozen Synapse on my netbook. It runs in Wine perfectly at 1024x600, and with the background settings and AI processing turned off, it plays at a great framerate.

Trine is €1.99 at Gamersgate. And if you are wondering, it is DRM free.

Samurai 2 Vengeance -50% / $3.50
I have the original iPad Version and it totally rocks. But I don´t know how the touch controls translate onto a usual control scheme.
Clastle is also $2.50 / -50%
Looks interesting but I don´t know it.
Capsized is $5 /-50% I have the Steam Version already and it totally rocks. It´s just hard as hell!
Trapped Dead
is $5/ -50% but I am not entirely convinced about it.
That´s it from me for now :)
There are some more new discounts but lot´s old ones still valid from last week
