You do know that something like 75-99% of games on steam don’t have any drm, right? You can play most games right from the exe.

None ive ever purchased have been drm/launcher free. Even binding of Isaac and terraria need that bloated garbage excuse for a launcher open to run.

Running the app directly through steam/ the freedesktop launcher steam makes should work without internet access
