Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

All in all it is extremely quirky and strange. It is probabbly worth owning if you are to the nerdy side of games and the engine is suited for some creative modding.

That being said, I don't know whether that's the case for KSP as well.

Re: Re:
It is. Once you've downloaded the game from Steam you can run it without Steam being involved, create multiple installations (to run savegames with specific sets of mods)and so on. One of the reasons most gamers like Steam is that it's notionally just a storefront. It's a storefront that provides optional DRM services to developers, but that's a developer decision. If a particular developer ties their game tightly into the DRM side of Steam's platform and Steam falls over for a week, leaving players without their games, that's mostly the developer's choice to leave themselves open to that vulnerability. Less DRM-heavy games wouldn't be so heavily affected.
