Would you be able to put Cloning Clyde on itch? That's one I really want DRM Free.
Unfortunately, it looks like it does require Steam. Running the Steam version of CC even directly from the exe launches Steam.
I definitely see your point of view. I'm checking with John, the original developer of Clyde, to see about getting a non-DRM build - we're OK with it in principle, but we're looking for an existing build that's suitable for this.
