Baseball Mogul 2015 seems to run without steam (windowz)
Divine Slice of Life works on Windows without Steam.
May potentially test it on Linux later.
Awesome, thanks for the updates, everyone. I'll get the wiki page updated later today.
Found out that Divine Slice of Life works DRM-free on a fresh installation of Linux Mint 18.1.

By the way, the Windows OS I tested it earlier on is Windows 10. Both setups do not have Steam installed (Steam is instead installed on a virtual machine running Windows XP)
Some more games that runs without Steam. Tested on Win 10.

Just some quick notes based on browsing the list recently:

- I see The Witcher 3 listed, were 1 and 2 ever tested? Given CDProjekt's philosophy on DRM it's possible the Steam versions of 1 and 2 could be DRM-free as well.

- Can anybody test the Steam versions of the original Splinter Cell, Beyond Good & Evil, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? I've noticed the Ubi30 promo copies of these games all work without Uplay's involvement and this makes me wonder if the digital distributions of these titles have all been DRM-free (Rayman Origins, which was part of the Ubi30 giveaway is also DRM-free on Steam.)

- Memory's Dogma appears to be DRM-free (tested on Windows 7). This is in regards to the first release, "CODE: 01". Let's see if further chapters/episodes continue that trend.
I've got a few games that I tested on Linux tonight. All of these worked without the client:

12 is Better Than 6
Besiege
Containment: A Zombie Puzzler
Dropsy
Knee Deep
Life Goes On
Lifeless Planet (I'm pretty sure Linux is still beta though)
Moebius Empire Rising
Nightside
Space Run
The Mims Beginning
The Peils of Man

I am not sure about this but wasn't it the case that you could get a GOG copy of W1 and W3 if you bought it on steam? So basically there wouldn't be any need for them to be runnable without the steam client.

Is this supposed to be "Perils of Man?" Also, I assume you tested these games in Windows, correct?

EDIT: I'm a moron, it's a Linux list. I even quoted that. :P

Perils Of Men should already be in the list - at least for windows. hummer010 is mentioning linux in his post so you could add that to the list as well.
