You have to log into steam to be able to launch any game you own on steam. As opposed to launching the game standalone.

This is the gateway you have to cross to access what you paid for.

That’s the management of digital rights, right there. It’s not complicated.

Unless the game has DRM built in by the developer, you can just fucking launch the game standalone my yin

That’s what I said in the earlier comment

Steam isn’t preventing you from launching shit

It’s not complicated

Seems I need to update my definition, polled some friends (I didn’t vote) and this was the result

You can still launch games you’ve downloaded without steam preventing it unless the game has developer added code preventing it, but if people consider having to use the storefront to buy and download them drm, then it seems I should update my word usage
