I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

      YMMV of course, but I’ve played several Steam games without Steam running at all when my kids were playing on my account on another computer. I just killed the Steam process and ran the games from the commandline, and it worked fine.

      These were Linux native games, so I’m not exactly sure on the best method to play Windows games without Steam (I guess lutris like anything else, but I haven’t needed to).

        @sugar_in_your_tea @Privatepower42 I’ve got some tar.xz compressed archives with win32 or win64 Steam games and Proton on my NAS. Sometimes one needs to replace the steam_api.dll or steam_api64.dll if the game relies upon it but it works most of the time. I’m downloading them with steamcmd.
