This doesn't even get into all Scheme has done to create, reinforce, and perpetuate a shroud of DRM over PC gaming, aided by the media and braindead masses, to the point that people equate PC gaming with Scheme itself. The GOG Galaxy pushing over on this site has nothing on their approach over there. It goes to show that DRM-free is not at all a focus and is pushed as far out of the spotlight as possible. And yes, user-generated, because the store can't be bothered to mark this (it would be slightly more noble if they at least tried, like Humble).įor a user to know without any doubt that a game they want is still able to be DRM-free on there, they would have to contact the developer and/or publisher. By the way, many of those games will try to launch the Scheme client or require other workarounds, at least as stated by the lists online. As one example, Final Fantasy X/X-2, which I notice is no longer on the user-generated list of games that can be made DRM-free on Scheme. Here's the reality: those games can be, and ARE, made DRMed without the user knowing.
It's entirely up to the developer, hence why Witcher for instance is DRM-Free, even on Steam.
Pheace: Lol, there's been DRM-Free games on Steam for over a decade or so.
