For you DRM free loving, Steam bashing crew Wasteland 1 is heading to Desura and is only a few days away!
The game looks a little bit too retro for me, will you be grabbing it?
About
For the first time in over 20 years, we are heralding the return of a much loved piece of gaming history with the classic RPG, Wasteland! Mutants. Again. Even more than there were last time: they seem to materialize out of the very grains of the radioactive desert sand. Venomous yellow eyes. The black gunmetal glint of Uzis as they close in for the kill. There's nowhere to run, and nothing to rely on but your MAC 17 machine gun. What a way to save the human race. Now something more secretive and sinister than the usual roving bands of mutants and raiders is menacing humanity, and it's your job to investigate. Recruit the help you need, follow any leads you find, but beware. The wasteland is lawless desert and a lonely place, and the choices you make will shape the world around you. Better choose wisely. Your life depends on it.

Quoting: GNU_DawnQuoting: Crazy PenguinActually it does not use dosbox. I just checked the files, and no dosbox anywhere. So it is a genuine updated port, with no drm.Quoting: GNU_DawnThe linux version on steam is already drm free. At lease I can move the files and launch the game without steam open in the background. That counts as drm free in my book.Sure it is DRM-Free! It's not possible to put the Steam-Stuff into an old DOS-Game :D. The "linux version" is the DOS-Game bundled with the native Linux DOSBox binaries. Which doesn't count as linux version in my book :D
There are a number of games (not many) with no drm on steam. There is an (incomplete) list here:

Actually I think I am mistaken. I just checked the license file and they do mention dosbox. But I still get the impression that this is more than a simple dosbox release. There have been a lot of upgrades.
