I am in search for a game but can only find it on Steam. I did find someone on CS who had the game build that could launch without Steam but the link is long expired... Do you guys know where it is possible to find Steam less games?? I really don't want to download Steam just to play 1 game on my laptop.

Title should be "Steam-less games?". The word capitalization and the spacing between "Steam" and "Less" makes no sense at all. Also, including double question-marks is over-the-top, as though your request were urgent. Its games what you're asking for, not some medicine. Get a grasp on grammar.

Why does it trigger you?

Sorry for the bad grammar. But the 'less' at the end is a suffix of the main word here Steam. The two question marks are just a form of emphasis and no it's not as urgent as you are perceiving it. Its a way of writing idk why it made you react as such it is a forum you don't have to answer what doesn't please you and sorry again for the weird request.

In either context, Steam is a noun and does not come across as a verb, particularly in the context of this community. Good luck correcting the grammar of others in future, but you've fallen flat here.
