AB2012: I can confirm Bejeweled 3 works without Steam, but I don't own the others to test. It would be nice if someone who does could check as these are the kind of 2000-2005 era flash games that had their own dedicated authentication servers pulled a while back after EA acquired them.
But if authentication still needed even with Steam client, doesn't that mean the game won't even run?

Party Hard (Windows) and Pathologic Classic HD (Windows) both work without any tweaks. The store link for adding an entry for the latter is here:-

Legends of Amberland

Confirmed by the developer:

"There is no DRM protection of any kind integrated in the game (there never was and never will, it applies to all my games by the way), so you can just launch the game without launching Steam client anytime you wish after downloading"(c)

Okay, we're all updated again! :D

Also, another Epic store one for those interested: You can apparently make Tetris Effect DRM-free by going into a config file and telling it that you'd rather use Steam, which lets you use nothing. Yeah, I don't know, either.

(THE TETRIS EFFECT TRICK HAS SINCE BEEN PATCHED. IT WILL ONLY WORK ON THE FIRST VERSION OF THE GAME'S RELEASE THROUGH THE EPIC STORE.)

Also also, does anyone have Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night on Steam that they can test? I'm just trying to figure out what to do with a Steam gift card that I have, and I'm probably going to grab Bloodstained either here or there soon.
