Im not sure why i want to do this by i find it annoying to have to reinstall a game with every new computer and console ive gotten over time. How would one make a offline installer or backup, I would also want to make them look like retro media if possible.

By chance are there better ways of re installing games without torrents?

    Steam has its own DRM, in addition to DRM added by the manufacturer. So at the very least it’s going to ask Valve if you’re authorized to run the software. Whereas GOG doesn’t do that. (Steam can also make backup installers.)

      Not necessarily, there are games that you can run directly from the installation folder without having to start Steam.
