Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone / Re: Any progress on the crash issue?

Too bad Steam doesn't issue refunds except for pre-orders.  Thankfully I'm stalwartly staying with Windows XP (and Linux!) so I haven't experienced this issue.  You have my condolences, everyone who is having crashes.

General Discussion / Re: Steamless execution?

SpaceDrake, a quick check of the games and apps which I currently have installed via Steam reveals that the following programs run without the Steam client itself running:

A.R.E.S.
Back to the Future: The Game
Bastion
Bejeweled 3
Breath of Death VII
Codename: Gordon
Commander Keen
Cthulhu Saves the World
Evil Genius
Gemini Rue
Psychonauts
SEGA Genesis Classics
The Final Hours of Portal 2

And there are many more which I don't currently have installed on my computer.  Thus I would say that games sold and distributed through Steam but without including the Steam DRM - while not typical - are certainly not uncommon either.
