[–] msage@programming.dev 3 points 6 months ago (2 children) Most games on Steam are DRM-free and you can start them without a launcher (meaning Steam). So you can buy a game, download it, copy game files, refund, keep playing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] chunes@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 child) Most?

Haven't played it as much, but I will come back to it. Game can do more than 150 players in a single game. It's usually 16 players max, but I can send you vids of some massive games if you would like. permalink fedilink source parent [–] msage@programming.dev 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Absolutely recommend if you like Red Alert or RTS - OpenRA. Turn-based strategy Battle for Wesnoth. It's old, I played it first 16 years ago, but I returned to it recently and it's OK. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead I have not played, only saw reviews, but it has its fans. Shattered Pixel Dungeon for some roguelike action. 0AD is another RTS, I've heard good things about it, but haven't played it myself yet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago I like Mindustry (automation/RTS/Tower Defense) and Unciv (performant Civ 5 clone with quality of life improvements) too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago * DRM free except for steam itself permalink fedilink source parent
