RO was godlike. And so was Eve Online. I wish more games favoured an open ended game play formula.
I’m completely sucked in by Project Zomboid at the moment. If it had better Multiplayer, with easier to find servers, more comprehensive mod handling and a refined netcode, it’d be the GOAT.





A very easy solution would be for Steam to transition to the GOG approach optionally: Preserve games without any sort of DRM or online-only feature. Releases past a set amount of time could drop DRM (they already have this option AFAIK) and they would also need to have a sort of non-steam-services connected variant.
Combine this with completely FOSS SteamOS/Steam Client, and Valve would do everything right.
