These are good questions!
Forthose who have a DRM check at launch, it would then be necessary to do as the old days, when we use a no-CD executable. A no-Internet executable?!
And what are the possibilities of the command line of Steam?!

The DOSBox ones are running fine without any configuration from their director, I think.
