>Why the fuck can't I just install the game, have the files and the EXE in any folder I want and open the game whenever I want without having to run some random bullshit software like all my pirated games work.
Because the developer of [whichever game you're crying about] chose to use Steam's DRM.
Some games on Steam just launch without starting Steam when you double-click the executable. Some braindead idiot is going to call me a liar so here's one example. The fact that it works without Steam isn't even a bug; it's a feature. The game detects that Steam isn't running, but just displays a warning about not having cloud saves or whatever and then works anyway. This is Linux but I'm not restarting my computer just to verify that it behaves the same way on Windows. If this is only a Linux thing then let me know so I can laugh about it.
