There was 0.5 (0.75 if you count me in) persons who wanted Zero-K to launch offline, but without steam. The team hasn't enough development resources for that, so it gave me a thought, can SmartSteamEmu be leveraged here? You basically distribute the game folder as used by steam, then have people drop the SmartSteamEmu there and it works. Theoretically, of course.

Any thoughts on this?

Well, in case it didn't translate well, what I'm saying is that, hypothetically, using a steam client emulator could satisfy both parties with minimal effort on the developers' side.

Though I don't know what happens if, for example, an outdated client that was hitherto playing offline suddenly comes online.

There is the itch.io page too, but idk if that would help in what you're looking for?

Idk what SmartSteamEmu is but it sounds like something for games that don't want you to launch them without Steam.

For ZK you could do this: https://zero-k.info/mediawiki/Zero-K:Developing#Modifying_the_lobby_menu

Or I think putting steamfolder.txt in the directory also works.

However, if you do this, you're assumed to be able to deal with the fallout of nothing updating.
