ChristophWr: So steam with over 40k games has only 600 drm free games(at least according to this site)…..epic has way more drm free games in comparison because epic overal only has 1k games on the store and nearly 300 are drm free.I noticed that devs are way more open to release their games drm free and for example if they have drm in the beginning they get patched drm free later on for example death stranding.It’s also interesting how many humble games are drm free.If you want to see an overall statistic here you go
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games Yeah i also noticed that.I prefer epic over steam because of that because many games also get the drm free treatment later which is great.Humble bundle has expanded but they also sell a lot of drm free games and itchi is also great site

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games nightcraw1er.488: What is your point?
Humble started out as a mostly drm free store, but has since changed to a mostly steam key reseller. Those games that are drm free there are often outdated. There are some that you can only get there, tinman gamng for instance, otherwise shop elsewhere. I still occasionally buy book bundles, but that’s really it.
Epic is the new dog on the block and expanding fairly rapidly. They have some games which can be made drm free, but that is a workaround more than anything else, they are still very focused on their client system.
Steam is the devs to platform to which all is measured, as epic there are workarounds to getting drm free for some games, but it’s not really a feature.
As for others on that list, whilst technically it may be true it’s what hoops and workarounds you would need to do to get them. M$, Amazon, Uplay, would not be trusting these at all, even if proved drm free. Also, I would question the basis of calling it drm free, what about the client status (downloading/updating etc?), multiplayer, other features such as modding or achievements. It’s not as simple as “it doesn’t have denuvo” as that is only one of takings problems.
A you again….how do you know that’s it’s a workaround?Do you make conspiracy threads and negative posts everytime?Its also possible because devs are getting more paid so devs are more open to drm free or epic has a more pro drm free mantra.Their launcher is drm free and they let it open to the developers if they wanna release their games drm free or not.Steam also has a very light drm with plenty of drm free games like hades
