Zoom Platform is an alternative DRM-free game store | Heroic Games Launcher to support it for extra convenience ✅

...And nooo don't confuse it with that video conferencing thingy.... Sometimes these naming choices....

Maybe we'll have itch.io on Heroic soon too for a wonderful one spot experience to these lesser known DRM-free shoppés 🙏

Van a meter la tienda #ZoomPlatform en @heroiclauncher.

De esta tienda sé poco o nada. Tiene un estilo muy parecido a #GOG. Ni puta idea quienes son sus propietarios. También, dicen, son sin DRM.

ZOOM Platform also had payment processor issues, say they "have no plans to remove any titles" https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/08/zoom-platform-also-had-payment-processor-issues-say-they-have-no-plans-to-remove-any-titles/

Der Kopf dröhnt und auch sonst hat mich die #Allergie wieder fest im Griff ... die #Langeweile wog aber schwerer.
Für #Holarse habe ich drei für mich interessante Dinge aus der #Linuxgaming Welt in Artikel gepresst:

Das 2D Retro-Pixel Adventure "Devil's Hideout":

Das süchtigmachende Zwischendurch-Breakout-Spielchen:

Yeah, aside from #GOG being probably the most prominent #DRMfree #videogame store, there's #itch.io (#itchio), which I think is mostly DRM-free. The only #DRM I've seen on itch has been devs selling #Steam keys (usually alongside but sometimes without standalone installers/archives).

Other stores include: #HumbleStore and #GamersGate, where DRM-free products are clearly marked as such. GamersGate is less likely but can be worth the extra click to check if you're already looking up a game on IsThereAnyDeal.

There's also #DLsite (for mostly Japanese games), which from my experience seems to be DRM-free unless otherwise indicated, though products with DRM on DLsite are a lot more common than on itch. (Also be aware that some products have English and Japanese versions or Windows and Mac versions sold separately.)

For #VisualNovels, #JAST (a.k.a. #JASTUSA) and #MangaGamer (NSFW warning for these sites, as you might expect) are both DRM-free.

Sometimes you can find publishers that offer DRM-free stuff on their own web stores. #FruitbatFactory does, for example. (I think Sekai Project and NekoNyanSoft also do but I've never used them before.)

As I understand, #BOOTH.pm (#BoothPM), #FireFlowerGames, #GameJolt and #ZOOMPlatform (the game store, not to be confused with the videoconferencing thing) also sell games DRM-free, but I've never yet used them.

FYI some of these aren't on IsThereAnyDeal (which already seems to have enough trouble sorting the large numbers of itch and Steam games). But there aren't that many to check. The biggest store that's missing is DLsite, I think?

(Sadly, the #Desura and #Playism game stores no longer exist.)

With no intention of being mean, I keep forgetting that Zoom Platform (the digital distribution platform for video games) exists and is good, actually.

If you set up an account, you can get a load of old Apogee Software and 3D Realms games for free, buy a copy of Megarace that's actually been packaged for Linux (although I presume you know how to use DOSBox yourself), and even buy a copy of Steve Meretzky's The Space Bar, which I don't think is currently on GOG or Steam.
