Many steam games already have no DRM and ones that use Steam Launcher presence can be launched using a Steam Launcher emulator.

Ones you have to worry about are Denuvio games that aren't cracked (you can keep track of them here).

You know what? You guys keep making the same argument, I guess I'll just have to keep giving the same answer.

How many is many? PC Gaming Wiki lists 1000 DRM free games in Steam's library. That is 2.6% of the service, by their count.

And all you get from those is the ability to rip loose game files, which is not the same as having an installer or a portable installation. GOG will let you download a backup installer of every game on the service. Not the same thing.
