orcishgamer: Well, I'm sorry, you're experience is limited (as is, apparently, your definition of DRM). This is well documented both on this forum and elsewhere on the internet, you don't have to believe me, go check it out for yourself.
Having to buy something does not make it DRM, dude, that would actually make GOG games DRMed.
Yeah, I edited myself. But that doesn't change the issue. See this post on the Kickstarter page. Having to buy something does not make it DRM, dude, that would actually make GOG games DRMed.
Now, that may prompt the question, “What about DRM-free?” To honor our original promise of a DRM-free version of the game, the Harebrained Account Website will also contain a downloadable version of Shadowrun Returns that does not include Steam integration. While this version will include the Seattle story (and Berlin, via a one-time update), without Steam integration, it will be unable to browse and play community-created stories from within the game. Any future DLC will only be available through Steam.
Emphasis mine. Even if there are DRM-free games on Steam, Shadowrun will not be. It will have full Steam integration. So, tough luck for us, I suppose.
