PSA: You CAN play Steam version WITHOUT running Steam

[freedomispopular]

I've been seeing this misconception around the forums that you need to log in to Steam to run the Steam version of KSP, and I haven't really seen this mentioned much but in passing a couple times, so I thought I'd clear the air on this. Steam DOES allow DRM-free games, and KSP is one of them. If you have the Steam version, you can run it without going through Steam, or even being logged into Steam. Just run the KSP.exe. You can even copy the whole folder in your Steam directory, paste it somewhere, and treat it just like the regular ZIP version. I didn't realize this until AFTER I paid the extra $23 for the zip version, but I'm not too upset since I've gotten/will get far more than $46 worth out of it.

Hopefully this helps some of you out

very old news but thanks

That's what I figured, but I'm seeing a LOT of people that aren't aware of it. It seems like a lot of people in general don't realize there are completely DRM-free games on Steam.

The odds of the people perpetuating it seeing this thread is limited. The odds of them caring is less. In general if someone is opposed to something they aren't going to let a petty thing like FACTS stop them from railing against it

Meh... Facts don't really prove anything, it's all about the speculation.

Ah, great idea! But why stop there? If you're purchasing a decently sized SSD as a secondary drive, you might as well move your Steam install and other games to it, giving all your games blazing-fast load times.

... I think I have an SSD lying around. Be right back.
