Love it! Is it going to be kept up to date?
Yes, I'll regularly run the script I wrote to add new games from the wiki.
edit: I also plan to make the script available once it's in a better state than "let's spend a few hours slapping stuff together."
Is it GOG lol?
Jk, nice work.
Hey cool!
I admin/am with a curator group that crowdsources this within Steam itself, alongside noting when DRM free alternatives are available when the Steam copies aren't DRM free (which happens sometimes).
Check it out here:

p.s. I didn't create the group originally, so the name is a carryover from the creator being inspired by GOG's FCKDRM push at the time. If memory serves changing it risks breaking things.
Nice to see curation used for something other than memes and hate groups
Doing the Lord's work. Followed!
How can this be?! I thought games on Steam had to have DRM.
Nope, it's an optional module of Steamworks. (And using Steamworks at all is also optional.)
Yes, I was trying to make a joke, since you read it so often, that games on Steam always have DRM.
What steam provides is weak and optional.
I tried and failed to make a joke.
Did you edit it or was it really like that when I replied?
I think I edited about a minute after posting the comment, before anyone replied, but kept the general meaning.
