You’d need something like the Goldberg Steam Emulator, since a lot of games rely on services and APIs that Steam provides

Looks like it’s for MP? I almost never play MP, so maybe that’s why I haven’t run into it.

Thanks for the correction. :)

I believe it holds true for some single player games as well. I seem to remember Half-Life 2 not wanting to launch without Steam present, same for some other Source games. That really might not be the case though, I’m curious to do more testing… Either way, I watch enough Linux gaming on ARM SBCs (check out MicroLinux and LeePSPComputer on YouTube), can I see them using Goldberg from time to time to get games running with no Steam
