This is just beginning. List will be updated in the following days and weeks.
There is DRM free games DB but it's huge mess, and there are many missing games. There will be corresponding thread in Steam powered forums.
List is made because of
- people who continuously claim that Steam is DRM which is complete BS, and
- for some unknown reason Steam Store pages don't mark DRM free games.
Definition of DRM free game - DRM free (game) means no copy protection i.e. you can use it without any sort of restriction. In practical term:
- game’s .exe can be launched directly and Steam client won’t pop up
- game’s .exe can be launched directly and there won’t be any additional DRM pop up
- game’s folder can be copied outside steamapp folder and used freely
What is Steamworks? It is an API for gaming developers. They can use it for free to include a set of Steam features and solutions. Steamworks is not DRM, it's just one optional part of it. There are games which are Steamworks but are DRM free. That will be noted.
The Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam is here.
Games are grouped in different categories so should be easier for finding. There should be at least 4 games for the list to be created. List is alphabetical.
