I am not looking to pirate (this time) I just want to install some specific free games in steam but I don't like steam, they are offline and have no DRM from what I know either but if they did it's not that hard to get rid of it anyways.

I just wanted to ask here cuz I would think people here would know for well. Obvious reasons. So ye, Is there any safe way to do this that has the games well updated and all that?

So wait, I might not be understanding what you're asking correctly, but if you want to download free games without DRM, that you don't intent to pirate...

Are you just looking for itch.io?

Yes the phrasing was bad. I just meant some specific games that were updated on steam that are free and I am pretty sure they have no DRM I don't know if it is considered pirating maybe it is idk the definition of it I just don't want to like install steam and that.

Apologies for the bad phrasing lol.

Steam is DRM.

Steam is a platform. It does provide optional DRM that some games use, but there are others that are DRM-free
