You own your games on steam just as much as you do on gog for like 99% of them. The majority of steam games have no form of drm.

Out of my 2000 ish steam games less then 50 actually use drm that ties them to steam and those are basically only triple A games that arnt on gog anyways.

Just remove the overlay and the VAST majority of games just work with out steam entirely.

Is there a tool you can use to check that against your own library? I never got the sense it was anywhere close to a majority of my library, but years ago, I was just cross checking my then-small library against a hand-maintained list.

  I don’t know of a bulk tool, but the Augmented Steam browser extension shows a DRM warning above the purchase button when you go on a game’s Steam store page.

    Better than nothing. Thanks! Steam’s DRM has reared its head more often thanks to, ironically, the Steam Deck and playing on the go in places without internet access.

    this extension seemingly only lists third party DRM.
    
    That could be the case! Unfortunately I can’t see any documentation about it on their website or github repo.
