So, I have a pretty big games collection on steam and the majority of these games are offline single player games.
And sometimes I fear just losing access to all of them !
I had quit piracy entirely in the 2010s during the golden age of streaming, but now I’m increasingly alienated from it all.
I could hunt down the crack for each and every single game I own but I would like to know, is there a better way ?
Could I just crack my offline steam library and play my games offline forever ?
This is what I do. I don’t like DRM in games that I own, and even just today I was helping a user that got blocked from playing a game that they own because the EA DRM breaks itself often on Linux. I wrote a Linux-specific guide for it but the procedures should also work on Windows with some imagination. The exact methods may vary per game but for the vast majority of Steam games you’ll only need to crack Steamworks API protection off of it.
(warning: guide is long. Sections 5 and 6 are the most directly related to actually cracking popular DRMs off a game)
Thank you that looks like a fantastic resource Here is a pirate coyote https://i.imgur.com/IKMTSb4.jpg
Hell yeah, that’s awesome. I hope the guide can be of use - I often reference it myself when I forget how to do something, so hopefully I can keep it up to date with whatever my current knowledge level is.
This is excellent.
That doesn’t sound weird at all!
There are quite a few games on Steam that come without any DRM, or one that can be easly circumvented without additional tools.

You might find a few of your games on that list, which will make this whole ordeal a lot easier.
Alright so if your game is just protected by steam drm its easy to crack just download the goldberg steam emu and the steamless drm remover from csrin
I find it easier to do it the other way around. Pirate all the games, then buy them when they’re available DRM free.
Technically I own some games on Epic, but I don’t install from there.
This heavily depends on your jursdiction, but:d
