Gaming

I keep a list of places to buy things DRM-free.

GOG is the biggest name in this regard, but Humble offers some DRM-free games, and GamersGate has a few, and those will tell you explicitly if they offer a DRM-free release. itch.io is mostly DRM-free. I think GameJolt and Zoom Platform are also DRM-free but I've never used them. For visual novels and such, there's also JAST and MangaGamer, both entirely DRM-free. For various Japanese indie games, more generally, there's DLsite, which is DRM-agnostic but at indicates whether the product uses its DRM.

And there's also publishers' own sites, in some cases, which may offer games as direct downloads, which are generally DRM-free.

If it's on Steam, I'll wait. Sometimes I'll ask the devs to put the game on GOG and/or itch. I haven't bought a game from the Steam store in years.
