Steamless is a DRM remover of the SteamStub variants. The goal of Steamless is to make a single solution for unpacking all Steam DRM-packed files. Steamless aims to support as many games as possible.
Steamless is a software tool designed to remove DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection from SteamStub variants applied to games and applications distributed through Steam. Its primary function is to unpack and decrypt files protected by Steam’s DRM, restoring them to their original form for legitimate use.
Key Features:
Comprehensive DRM Removal: Supports multiple versions of SteamStub DRM, including Variants 10, 20, 21, 30, and 31, across both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
Non-Intrusive Design: Preserves the core functionality of games by leaving Steamworks API integrations intact.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly on Windows, ensuring broad applicability for users.
Command-Line Interface (CLI): Provides flexibility for automated workflows and scripting.
Ethical Use Focus: Designed strictly for legal purposes, respecting copyright and intellectual property.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for legitimate owners of Steam games who wish to manage or backup their files without interference from DRM restrictions. Steamless empowers users to take control of their legally acquired content while maintaining the integrity of the original game experience. It can be installed via winget, ensuring a smooth setup process.
This tool is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and work with DRM technologies responsibly, offering a clear and effective solution for unpacking Steam-protected files.
Steamless is a DRM remover of the various SteamStub variants applied to applications and games released on Steam via the DRM tool in the Steamworks SDK.
Steamless aims to be a single solution for unpacking all variants of the SteamStub DRM, ranging from the very first version to the most recently released.
However, due to personal limited funds, I cannot test every game myself.

> Steamworks Digital Rights Management wraps your game's compiled executable and checks to make sure that it is running under an authenticated instance of Steam. This DRM solution is the same as the one used to protect games like Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. Steamworks DRM has been heavily road-tested and is customer-friendly.
> In addition to DRM solutions, Steamworks also offers protection for game through day one release by shipping encrypted media to stores worldwide. There's no worry that your game will leak early from the manufacturing path, because your game stays encrypted until the moment you decide to release it. This protection can be added to your game simply by handing us finished bits or a gold master.
