Okay, I've updated the list. I assume all of these are for Windows?

Danmaku Unlimited 2 works without Steam. Using Windows.

I wonder if it might be useful to create a section with tested games that are NOT playable without the Steam client due either to CEG or Steamworks dependecies? This way one would not have to guess whether a game might be DRM-free or not if it's not on the list before purchasing.

Sorry, I forgot. Yes - all the games (Detective Grimoire, Perils of Man and The Detail) where tested on Win7/64.

You are correct but this would be a huge list I guess.

Hey, happy almost new year, everybody. :D I just wanted to stop in and let everyone know that I'm still always checking this thread, and I update the wikia whenever I see new games. I may not post every time I update, but I am updating. :D

Same to you and thank you for checking and updating in the past, the present and future :)

No problem at all, it's my pleasure. :D

Also, I've added Tales from the Borderlands and DuckTales Remastered to the Wiki. Borderlands is available here on GOG, so that's obviously the best choice, but DuckTales is a Steam exclusive, so it's another good one of which to be aware.

Condemned: Criminal Origins didn't have any drm when I tried a year or so ago, I copied the folder out of the Steam directory to the desktop & opened it from there to test.

In saying that, it has been a while since I tried & I no longer have the game on Steam (cleared out a bunch of my library including this when they started offering the chance to delete games)

So if anyone else has it, hopefully it still works.

Can someone verify if Morrowind works without steam if you use the graphics mod program (forget its name)?
I have Morrowind right now, but the program is several GBs larger than the game itself, so I can't really test it now.
Without any mods, Morrowind does not work without steam. Kinda weird that they bothered DRMing such an old game, but whatever.

I suppose I should get the game on gog anyhow, but I was hoping I'd be able to use what I have already :D.
