DCSS is under GPL. This means that it would not be fishy to link it against Steam API for achievements, DRM and such (but this is of course not actually necessary for a Steam game). Also that the distributor has to let users access the source code and distribute it further -- I do not think this is incompatbile with Steam rules either, there are some GPL games on Steam. It would be bad style to make it a paid game but this is also not necessary on Steam. When I asked about this on dcss reddit, the answer was something like "it can be done and I think it should be done but somebody would have to maintain it". @UsaSatsui @JK I do not think that is true?

I for one would gladly throw some bucks towards you for the convenience. It must’ve been asked somewhere but is there any chance that DCSS could be made available through steam?
