Methodology
How DRMLess verifies DRM-free games
DRMLess answers one question: can a Steam game be bought as a genuine DRM-free download somewhere else?
Stores we monitor
We currently check GOG, itch.io, and Humble. Humble products are included only when the store catalogue explicitly offers a direct download; Steam-key-only products are excluded.
How games are matched
Matches combine normalized titles with developer and publisher information. Exact editions are preferred. When only a remaster, complete edition, or closely related release is available, the game page labels it as a different edition instead of presenting it as an exact match.
Prices and freshness
Prices are indicative and may change between checks. Store catalogues are synchronized in bulk, while Steam metadata and individual results are refreshed continuously. Every game page shows its latest verification time.
Found a mistake?
Automated matching can never be infallible. Use the report link on any game page or email contact@drmless.com so the result can be reviewed.
