!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It has been ages since I played something on PC (I don't have a gaming one) but that is crazy to me lol.
Is it not possible to just put the .exe files into the desktop (not shortcuts).
The exe is typically a tiny part of the actual game files, so no.
Perhaps the entire folder of the game on your desktop? I do remember to have done something like that before lol.
I know you used to be able to do that, but I don't think it works anymore.
Depends, DRM free games yes...
I hear there's a website for that... amazing how you can get anything drm-free if you know how to sail.
I tried that with Tropico 5. The .exe launches the Kalypso launcher. When you press play, it launches the steam launcher, which then launches the Kalypso launcher again. When you then press play, you get to play the game.
(This is from memory. Details may vary.)
