Love it! Is it going to be kept up to date?

Yes, I'll regularly run the script I wrote to add new games from the wiki.

edit: I also plan to make the script available once it's in a better state than "let's spend a few hours slapping stuff together."

Nice to see curation used for something other than memes and hate groups

Doing the Lord's work. Followed!

Are there any games on this list that are not available on GOG ?

[–] Zibetnu@programming.dev 7 points 8 hours ago

As far as the PCGamingWiki API is aware, there are 810 DRM-free Steam games not on GOG.

Here's a complete list: https://termbin.com/jb07

there are many DRM-free games on steam that aren’t on GOG, sadly

idk if it’s on this list, but Cassette Beasts is one of them

How can this be?! I thought games on Steam had to have DRM.

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Nope, it's an optional module of Steamworks. (And using Steamworks at all is also optional.)

Yes, I was trying to make a joke, since you read it so often, that games on Steam always have DRM.

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What steam provides is weak and optional.

[–] Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I tried and failed to make a joke.

Did you edit it or was it really like that when I replied?
