How to play your games without steam Tutorial

**Morbx Core** · 07-09-11, 11:50 AM

I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove games that we purchased thru steam so that we can play them without being FORCED to use steam.
I`ve noticed times that I`ve tried playing single player games while offline and can`t because steam needs to update or other errors with steams connection.
I`ve seen a site one time that gave directions on how to do this but lost the link does anyone have any ideas?
I will keep tf2,css,l4d2,dods etc on steam but for newier and other games I rather not be forced to use Steam or ingeneral be forced to use any application even when I purchased the game property.

Simply put when I buy a game I want the game not steam or adware.Steam has nice prices but if they force you to use thier software than the pricing is kinda high.

You buy them from something other than steam.

Use onlive..... No wait...

Enable offline mode. Or buy it at a store

Steam is the DRM system used by Valve. It's content distribution, updating, (sometimes) server browsing, and DRM all rolled into one package.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to run Steam. You don't have to worry about keeping track of discs, CD-keys, or any of that other crap. Download the game, it's installed for you automatically, then just boot it up and play it. Even keeps it updated for you, which is a huge deal - anyone that's tried to patch 2142 from install version to current without running into errors and Punkbuster bullshit knows exactly what I'm talking about.
