| Mnementh said: Ah, thanks for the analysis. So yeah, I was aware that many Steam games are DRM free, but there is no real way to find out, is there? I did go to the Amnesia Rebirth store page after reading your post, and I see no indication. So GOG remains the way to be certain, it is DRM free. |
Yeah, unfortunally there ain't a "DRM-free" tag in the Steam Store... it's all trial & error to find such titles.
There are a few lists/discussions to find, which ran out of steam very fast (pun intended):

I also don't want to waste another two weeks of my precious(?) lifetime to check 100% of my Steam library.
This would be a great use case of RPA (robotic process automation)... maybe I'll write a script someday which starts one Steam game after another, makes a screenshot after a minute (from the error message or from the game menu) and closes the game (if still open).
Then I'll only have to check all screenshots after a few weeks. But this method wouldn't be perfect... in some games the errors only show up, after starting the campaign / single player mode. So the RPA would have to be KI-assisted, so it recognises and activates the correct menu option and waits another minute before taking the screenshot. It also should have the ability to skip intros before the main menu of a game is shown.
