Artki: > Anybody can explain me how I can access the non Steam games, after buying them? Do I just download them, via browser (like GOG allows me to do) or do I need to install any kind of "client" to do that?
It depends.
Most of the casual games (Avadon counts as a casual game since it's in their casual section although it's NOT a casual game) require a one time internet activation after you install them.
They used to have a download client (I think the casual games still use it) but regular PC games (they call them "core") now have a stub EXE file you dl. Run that file and it DLs everything else. You can save those files and install them again instead of re-downloading.
The client asks you if you want it to run all the time but the ONLY time you need it is when you're downloading and activating casual games. So you can just run it when you need it.
After you get that download there may or may not be DRM. It depends on the publisher. For example, Divinity II had a one-time internet activation but after Larian took off the protection, Amazon EVENTUALLY put up a new version that had no DRM.
Amazon sells lots of steam games. When you buy those you can download a steam archive OR just copy the steam key. Or both.
Thanks for that clarification. I have yet to download a "core" game due to limited access to the net :)
