Like 95% of steam games are drm free... The only reason steam has to be running is cause games are bundled with a dll that enables the overlay, cloud sync etc. it's just removable and your games don't rely on steam at all.

No check in, no drm, no nothing.

It's basically only the biggest triple A games that use steamDRM.
