Okay, the list has been updated!
Posted October 18, 2015
"Broken Sword: Director's Cut" runs on Linux without Steam as well. The Windows version is already on the list.
Posted October 20, 2015
Added The Banner Saga to the list, tested in Windows 10. It requires that the steam_api.dll be deleted or renamed.

"Might and Magic X: Legacy" - MAC version works without Steam and without uPlay. Just move the game out of the steamapps folder and start it by double clicking the app. Steam can even be unistalled.

There is not even a login request for a uPlay account in that version of the game (unlike R.U.S.E., grumble, grumble).

What about Uplay, though? Can it work if it's uninstalled?

The Mac version of "Might and Magic X: Legacy" does not require the uPlay client (there is not even a uPlay client available for OS X).

The windows version does, however, need to log into the uPlay client.

Huh... you learn something new each day.

Whoa, there's a login request for RUSE? That's interesting, since the store page doesn't list Uplay as a third-party DRM.

Also, yeah, it's pretty cool that Mac doesn't have Uplay. It DOES have the old Ubisoft launcher, though, as evidenced by Assassin's Creed II, so it's cool that Might & Magic doesn't use it. I've added it to the list.

Some new games to be added. Win 8.1

Close Your Eyes
Déjà Vu II: MacVenture Series
Keen Dreams
Mega Coin Squad - Will try to start Steam. Works anyway. If you delete steam_api.dll or SteamworksNative.dll it'll give you a black screen.
