Anyway to get Goat Simulator without Steam?

I followed some of the free guides but everyone has missing DLLs and stuff.

I don't want to give our 11 year old access to steam, he wants to play goat simulator.

Anyone know a way?
 
The Steam version of Goat Simulator is actually DRM-free.

Download the game on Steam, run it once (just so it can setup the necessary DirectX libraries and whatnot) and then exit out. Shut down Steam. Open up a file explorer window and go to your Steam folder, SteamApps > common > GoatSimulator > Binaries > Win32 > GoatGame-Win32-Shipping.exe. Just create a desktop shortcut for that and he can launch it from there. No Steam required.

To make sure he never gets into Steam, just set it so it doesn't remember your password.

Yup, go ahead and install Steam on his computer, and log into your account to download the game. You'll only need to run Steam once if all you're doing is giving him that one game.

After that, just follow the instructions I posted above and you should be good.

FYI: You can download Steam as many times as you want, and install it on as many computers as you want. The only limitation is that you can only be logged on to one computer at a time (although I think they recently increased it to two, but that isn't an issue for you anyway).
 
Wow, scary. When I streamed it to his PC my whole desktop was on his PC.

I just created a new account for him

If you want to avoid streaming, just sign out of your other computer before you sign into your son's computer. It should give you the option of installing it normally.
