Disappointed that gmtk doesn't address the fact that this wouldn't really be an issue with physical media because it can be re-sold and kept in a library.
At least Steam lets you still download it when you purchased it before. I checked today just to make sure it really does still download. Granted, this is as long as Valve may exist but I don't think there is anything DRM related here that would stop anyone from making a copy of the downloaded game 🤔 May try that later.
According to PCGamingWiki, the game does have Steam DRM. It was available DRM-free on GOG.
Ah that's where I did see it in DRM free. Yes you're correct. It refuses to launch without Steam running.
While, yes, Steam doing this is... OK... The resale is what matters. Technically passing it on via Gog's download is "piracy", but having some sort of physical identifier for the thing makes it legal to resell.
