Description

Steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/700920/Placement/

Placement is a minimalist logic puzzle game based on chess.

The goal of the game is to place the chess pieces on the board such that every piece is protected exactly once.

Key Features

  • Simple gameplay that's easy to learn but hard to master.
  • Over 80 levels ranging from the trivially simple to the deviously difficult.
  • Relaxing music and no time constraints.
  • DRM free.

DRM free ? Isn't steam a DRM service? I might be wrong.

You're not wrong. Maybe the dev means that once you download it, you can play it without being connected to Steam and the Internet? Some games are like that or something.

You need to connect to Steam to download the game. There's no getting around that. The game files can't appear out of thin air. They need to be downloaded from a server.

But once you have the files they are yours. You don't need to run the game through Steam (or even have Steam installed). Naturally, if you don't run it through Steam you won't get achievements or cloud sync.

It's no different from eg. GoG. You need to authenticate with GoG to download the game but once you have it it's yours.

Steam does provide DRM services and some games do use them (meaning you have to play the games through Steam). But developers are free to choose whether they want to implement them. I chose not to since I believe DRM only harms paying customers. Customers should be free to backup their games if they want to.

"can't appear out of thin air." I'll challenge this by downloading over WiFI in a room with low air pressure.
