Hey people,
I'm not sure where to post this Topic on this forum, but i guess i'll give it a try here.
I've got a question about Steam. I've never played a (cracked) game before that needs to have Steam installed in order for it to run. I don't have Steam and don't know what to do. I don't want to use Steam in any sort of way, but i do like to run these games. Can i simply download and install Steam from the official website and basically never run it afterwards? Thanks in advance for any help given.

Most of the cracked Steamworks games does not require steam to run.

You don't need Steam, those games come with crack files that you copy over just like a non-Steam release.

I opened Steam to see
all of the games on sale
I can't believe my luck
"payment transaction failed"
All I want is to download
all these super awesome games
it's like the program knows that
So tell me who's to blame
I always feel like
Gabe Newell's watching me
Tell me is it just on Steam?
Whoa-o-oh

Yeah, normally that's the case, but apparently not with certain Skidrow releases. From what i've found out forums, comments etc. (in search on why i can't get Transformers: Fall of Cybertron to launch), these games apparently need to read installed Steam files on your PC. You don't need to use or run Steam, but have it installed for the files. I just don't know whether installing regular official Steam is good enough.

So install it, make sure you don't have it autostart with Windows and then forget about it? Seems simple enough to me.

In the HL2 days Steam was awful, but it was well worth it for the updates/mods working as they should (compared to the getto pirated versions).
Today it's great.

I imagine people who play isodemo singleplayer games exclusively don't need steam at all.
