Can anyone confirm if You Have to Win the Game is DRM-free on Steam? The game's EULA says they wouldn't add any new DRM to this game before you install it.

Yeah, though I don't know if the cat DLC and remixed levels are available outside Steam.

As far as I can tell there is nothing stopping a game from calling DRM routines in Steam related DLL's wihout launching the actual Steam client.

That's what I got from your questions, but I've never heard of an occurrence of this.

cmdr_flashheart: Added KAMI and Zigfrak.
Also, I added this to the Trivia section since it worked for a bunch of games I tried:
Q: How do you determine if a game is Launcher-free on Steam?
A: Simple: install the game and launch it once (this step is important, because this finalises the installation). Shut down Steam and temporarily move all the files in the root Steam folder somewhere else. Locate game folder, locate the .exe, run it. Either you get an error message (or it does nothing at all), or the game just runs. If it just runs, it is Launcher-free.
[WHAT I ADDED]
Q: I did that, but it still won't work
A: Delete steam_api.dll and SteamworksNative.dll if present.
[/WHAT I ADDED]

For added bonus, don't even launch the game once, see if it works anyway. Neccesary runtimes (.NET, DirectX, ...) should have installers in the game's folder, if the game fails to launch and they alone don't help, and running once through Steam itself is needed, I'm not sure I'd consider the game DRM free.Also, I added this to the Trivia section since it worked for a bunch of games I tried:
