Skyrim DRM free please

[Slava Ukraini]

I love Skyrim. In my opinion this is one of the best games ever made. Would you consider to sell this game on GOG or in any other way DRM free without being forced to use any account? Please, I would even pay you up to 100,-- Euro for a copy of Skyrim.

The problem is, what many people don't know, Steam (some russian spies in Steam) supports this horrible invasion of Russia against the Ukraine. I don't want to use Steam any more on my computer. I don't want to have any account of any company who support this horrible Russian Holocaust against the innocent people of Ukraine. We have allready suffered enough from Russian occupiers who came to murder, torture, burn and rape women and children in the Ukraine. I don't want to use Steam any more because some Steam members support those most horrible russian war crimes thus mocking the thousands of innocent Ukrainian victimes.

Would you consider to make Skyrim playable without the use of Steam? Please.

Well Morrowind and Oblivion are allready DRM free on GOG. You can play those first Elder Scrolls games without any account just as in good old times when games were sold on hardware in a Retail box. I wonder why Bethesda does not do the same with Skyrim and it's stand alone mod Enderal. Skyrim / Enderal is the only reason why I even have Steam. It's so sad.

[Master Talon]

Well Bethesda had nothing to do with Enderal actually that is actually a Skyrim mod and it's own game at the same time (Need Skyrim installed to play it) and the creators of Enderal made it that so you have to ask the Enderal team about that and Bethesda don't read Steam post either so yeah they will never see this post and as for why they don't do it for Skyrim I have no idea

I do believe if you can find an original DVD edition, you can install without Steam or GOG.
Google it and see.
I remember buying it when it first came out and was annoyed at having to be plugged into Steam for so long. A few weeks later I found out I could have installed it from disk as some people had found a way. lol.

[Master Talon]

I got LE as a DVD ROM game and it still made me install it through steam no matter what I did but it don't matter now I no longer play LE/Oldrim anymore anyway and SE don't have a disc to install from so yeah as I said before I doubt Skyrim will ever be free GOG or free DRM plus I like getting the Achievements which you can't get when playing without steam

[Slava Ukraini]

Thank you for your time to answer. And yes I have the original DVD edition but didn't find any way yet to make it run without Steam. If in future there will be time for games and writing letters again, I might contact Besthesda itself and ask them nicely this favor though. Well let's hope we all will be alive and have a future.

Always glad to help. But where do you get this idea about "spies" in Steam. What is happening is abhorrent but if you let yourself get pulled into "false accusations" and "I heard it from a friend of a friend" or "I saw it on Twitter or somewhere else". Who are these people and why should you believe them? You will end up paranoid and start imagining your neighbours are spies. I have seen this happen.

Not going to be blamed for piracy or encouraging it, but there are ways to play DRM free. If Skyrim has been tested on the app I know of, I do not know. It was developed not for piracy and is readily available, but you should know a bit about computers and how DRM works.
@Theo
Correct you still need Steam installed for the first way I mentioned, because it still needs the DRM feature. But you can install from disk (LE) without being connected and having to download all the damn stuff again.

[Slava Ukraini]

Hallo slayor3000 thank you. Since we all here have paid honest money for Skyrim bying it legally I guess it's not piracy, because we only want to play it without the need of Steam. Piracy would be if somebody does not want to pay for a game and tries to find a way to steal it. Hence I have a calm mind asking this favour.

Well your other question is hard to answer here, because there are 'rules' for everything to delete or ban in Steam whoever they want. This I have allready experienced many times myself. In Steam there is a web of ''rules'' installed contradicting all freedom of speech and giving a free space to the mods to arbitrarily delete or ban almost everything and everybody they want. This is the sad reality and one of the reasons I want my few games to be free without being humilated and bullied by Steam.

Different games maybe attract a difference audience. Here in Skyrim and Enderal the mods and players have been very nice and helpful so far. There are other games however, including one particular russian game on Steam (the name I am not allowed to tell here) where are very spiteful, arrogant and evil Devs and players.

There are also some very nice Devs. I know of at least five games whose staff uses their games and forums here in order to support the Ukraine. For example they put blue yellow flaggs in their games as an option. In one particular game I could click on the ukrainan flag to read the lovely words of the Dev: ''We 100% support the Ukraine. War is never a solution.'' I was very touched by this.

However in other games the people are very different. There are players who provoke and mock all the innocent victimes by even using the ''Z'' symbol of supporting the invasion as their Avatar pic and further giving very evil coments approving and supporting all those horrible war crimes, for example they write provocations in Steam discussions like: ''We come for you and will sqeeze you all like pityfull insects.'' There are so many sick people here on Steam, who are even happy about those worsed war crimes in human history since WW2, asking for more and mocking the victimes. This is simply not accepteble for me that this kind of 'human scum' be it players or some russian devs are tolerated on Steam while I several times got deleted, punished or banned, just for showing sympathy and emotions for the Ukraine. For example in that one particular russian game discussians, I have just asked the Devs, if they also could give us the option to put an blue yellow ukarinian flag on our castle. Well other games do this allready, hence I think there is nothing wrong asking about this favour. The answer was an immediate lifelong ban for all discussions in that game, while all kind of evil russian war propagnada is allowed and welcome there.

What kind of solution can I draw from this? I think the attitude of those players / Devs and even some Steam mods is very clear here for whom they work, abusing Steam for Russian war propaganda while silencing everybodies free speech of who shows sympathy for the Ukraine.

Well than I wrote a negative review for that particular russian game whos Devs showed a clear support for the illegal russian invasion while bullying and mocking the ukrainian victimes. Since I was totally lifelong banned from Steam discussians there just because I asked to do what other games do allready, giving us a blue yellow flag for decorating our castle, the only way to express my free opinion was by giving a review. Of course I have giving a negative review to this russian game. In my review I honestly said, please don't buy this game, because the devs support the russian war against innocent civilians and even mock all the thousands of innocent ukrainian women and children who got tortured, raped and killed by russian soldiers. Well it is my right to give my honest opinion in my review and to ask others to NOT support this kind of Devs.

And guess what happend next? A Steam mod banned me from giving reviews, deleted my review there, thus manipulating the likes/ dislikes. Well this I call an evidence that Steam gives an advantage to a Russian game dev who abuses Steam for openly supporting the russian war crimes and mocking the ucrainian victimes. And instead of punishing banning this russian Putin Hitler Dev, the Steam mod again banned me for protesting. This is beyond any fairness. Instead of helping the Ukraine, some Devs and Steam staff members openly support the russian war crimes by arbitrarily deleting / banning any critics or negative review for an evil russian Dev. There attitude who they work for is more than obvious. Well I have much more first hand experience. But this shall be enough for now.

Cause they are Pre-Steam. Steam supplies games, they have nothing to do with the invasion of Ukraine. GSC (Cossacks, Stalker) Ukraine based games maker use steam and are doing a fund raiser on steam RIGHT NOW for Ukraine on steam.

Yeah I agree...I wish I didn't have to deal with Steam...Steam is the absolute worst...And for some strange reason...they think that they are the good guys...kind of like Thanos from the Avengers movies.

[HazakTheMad]

I don't really see how Steam compares to a villain from a movie.

In lots of ways Steam is worse..They still haven't given people back their money from the whole let's charge people for Skyrim mods scheme...their non-existence support..selling junk games that don't work and refusing to give people their money back...stupid bans...Steam told me I can't complain because I don't spend enough money...every game that I purchased from Steam doesn't work or is unplayable...furthermore,as far as I am concern that's the most stupidest argument that I ever heard...every time I post a mod that requires a DLC do you know how money Steam makes...sometimes as much as 50,000 dollars...Did you know a U.S. District Judge found Steam guilt of cooking up a scheme which he said was the same as money laundering...As bad as Thanos was at least he was honest...and trust me I am being as nice as I could be...I left a lot of stuff out. [This is why a lot people wish they could play Skyrim and not have to deal with Steam].

Wow what a rant. Steam is a store. They aren't pro-Russia, and just because some games have pro-Russia players or some forums are overrun by Pro-Russia bots doesn't make Steam into the evil empire you are all describing here!

The guy above me here ^ is especially off his meds.

[Master Talon]

I intend to agree with Master Mold if steam doesn't give your money back for something that doesn't work that means greed is in place and selfishness. You think steam cares about us? All they care about is how much they make like most businesses out there. We all live on a greedy planet and Humans are idiots and we are a greedy, stupid species.

I am waiting for Steam or Valve to comment not some level 10 user. I don't use drugs and passed every drug test ever given to me. Furthermore, I was born with a bad kidney and any use of drugs or medics would most likely kill me. Nice going you just made fun of someone who is physically handicapped.

I am worried about going on a dialysis machine and you say something like that.
