The big list of third-party DRM on Steam

Welcome to The Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam! This page is dedicated to offering a complete list of games available for purchase on Steam which have outside DRM associated with them on top of the standard Steam DRM.

Included with the games are the DRM schemes involved, the issues and hindrances you might encounter due to this DRM, and what you can do to prevent DRM from interfering with your gaming experience.

DISCLAIMER: There are many games that have their own in-game store. There are also many games with DLC managed not by Steam but by the publishers themselves. These are NOT included in this list because, as previously stated, the products on these lists are available for purchase on Steam. Using non-Steam products on Steam products must be done at your own risk.

Account-based DRM

DRM associated with accounts is weaker than most but still present, requiring online activation via CD key to access online services such as multiplayer and profile stats. These games require you to activate the game through their servers and use their accounts to activate the game, and many require these accounts to access the game. For single-player games, account-based DRM often does not affect the game to any real degree, as you can play them with an offline profile without activation. Because of this, many consider single-player account-based DRM to not be DRM at all because it does not require any contact beyond having the packages installed; no Internet connection is required. Games falling into this “single-player only” category will be marked as such.

EA Accounts

EA Accounts exist for two purposes:

To activate and run the game. This requires a constant Internet connection, even in single-player modes. The benefit to this, however, is that DLC, if it exists, is more easily managed than below.

To access online features, including DLC. In this case, the EA account is not required to access single-player (in some cases, it may be required to activate the game). For DLC, however, the game will require an account either way.

This list will be categorized as such, as well as games that use EA Classic accounts. Single-player games in the latter category will be specially marked, either as an option or exclusively single-player.

Games for Windows Live

There are two kinds of GFWL activation:

Current method: Server-Side Activation, or SSA. This binds the CD key permanently to your GFWL account, similarly to Steam. Thanks to this feature, the games do not carry activation limits! On top of this, a new GFWL feature has been added: Zero Day Piracy Protection (or ZDPP). This is their attempt to prevent pre-release copies from being played, and it can only be applied to SSA games.

Legacy method: A simple CD key check. This still requires an Internet connection, but it does not tie the key to your account. This has an activation limit between 10-20 (usually 15), similar to the usual Microsoft products (such as Office). If you hit the limit, contact Microsoft support. With proper evidence they will give you a new key, but you are only allowed one more key. After that, you will need to buy the game again.

It should also be noted that GFWL is not supported worldwide. In the event that you bind an SSA key to an account that is not in a supported region, you will lose the key (and, consequently, access to the game). Please read info about it at Steam support and Xbox.

Stardock Account

Stardock distributed their games via Impulse. After they sold it to GameStop in March 2011, Stardock introduced account system for their games to distribute patches and for the official support on forums. Their older games are de facto DRM free after registration, and those games are noted. You can download them any time from your Stardock account. In 2012, Stardock switched to Steamworks because of multiplayer. Those games can't be downloaded from Stardock, only from Steam.

Codemasters RaceNet

Until 2012, Codemasters used Games for Windows Live for DRM and online play for the majority of their racing titles. After they finally dumped it, they switched to Steamworks. In addition to it, they created Codemasters RaceNet. This is not necessarily a DRM scheme; it's additional multiplayer component with exclusive community futures, unlocks, rewards and so on. If you don't play online, you simply ignore it. More about it here.

Hardware-based DRM

Hardware-based DRM uses the PC itself in the activation process. The DRM, when installed, will usually check the system specs, operating system, image mounting software, etc. When any of these things are modified, the activation considers the PC to be a different one and will require another activation. If an activation limit exists and is reached, the game will refuse to install or play. In some cases, there will be methods to either revoke activations or reset the limit. These will be noted at the bottom of their respective blocks.
