You can still download mods from workshop, you just need to use steam's own tool called steamcmd instead of workshopdownloader website.

Yeah, it's an anti-piracy measure and also an incentive to buy games from Steam over other platforms.
That requires you to have the ownership of the game on Steam.

This is not the case for all games but in this case you are right.
Basically, nothing would be any different even if valve didn't close the workshopdownloader, some games just don't allow anonymous downloads, it is up to the developers. Karryn's Prison is one of those games.

Nevermind, found it myself

.Tested it on a game which I don't own and I am still able to download the workshop items so you are correct.
The difference here is now pirates/users who don't have the game on Steam can't download mods that are exclusively on the Steam Workshop unless if the dev allows anonymous downloading.

I have downloaded many mods using steamcmd for many games. Here, project zomboid(pz) mods as an example since you've asked for examples, look at my steam library to see if I own pz:
I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure your steamcmd is somehow able to access your steam account to check if you own the game, my guess is either you've steam open in background or because you put it in the same folder as your steam installation, but could be anything tbh. Normally, steamcmd shouldn't be able to tell if you own the game or not when logged in as anonymous. This isn't something I'm making up, check the closed workshopdownloader website:

Yeah, I verifed that myself and corrected it before you even responded.
You forgot to censor your username in the steamcmd's title. Leaked
I tried with the steamcmd on a different folder and it failed so it seems having it in the same location as the steam client is the reason I can anonymously download on a game that I own that doesn't support anonymous downloads.

I have no problems sharing my username, it is just that I'd rather not get involved with "pirates" from f95zone as I find most of them pretty dumb. Sounds edgy I know, but it is what it is.Yeah, I verifed that myself and corrected it before you even responded.

it is as far as i remember the guy in charge of the cg had an eye surgery so the gym sidejob is going to be a little delayed but it will happend
Does beating a challenge on Prisoner difficulty unlock the Warden version of the title if you didn't unlock it yet.
Game's good so far, kinda ran into a wall on the final boss cause I didn't grind enough on level 4.

Nope but as far as I know, the Prisoner Mode Titles are upgraded versions of the Warden Titles anyway and will replace them.
Thanks boss, went down to secretary, ended up beating it super fast and realized how big the difficulty gap between it and warden is.

Man, I would gladly buy this game on Steam if I could do so and properly hide it from all my friends so they don't know I jerk off to a porn game about gangbangs involving lizard and goblin dicks. But unfortunately the only other option is to just open a whole new Steam account just for porn games and I have no interest in that.

I fucked up and bought it on my main steam account, now everytime I wanna play I gotta make my whole profile and shit private, then once I'm done I have to play three other games to push KP out of my recent games list lmfao. Supporting the creator is cool but I'm never doing it via steam again

I'd personally just let it stay public and not give a flying fuck about what anyone else says or judges based on my hobbies.
To me, jerking off to whatever fantasies you have in fiction via games, hentai etc. is a completely normal thing to do.
Which is the reason I am open about my tastes on all sites where I've got my profiles public and also because, it's a free exposure which may lead to others discovering something they didn't know about and support the creator because of it so it's a win win for everyone.
Its in situations like these that I feel glad that none of my irl friends and colleagues and acquaintances are into video games (or have steam accounts). Completely different circle of friends between irl and gaming. My only connection with my steam friends is through various Discord servers and none of us care about what other games the other people are in to.

if you want your irl friends to know what you jerk off to, and when you're currently jerking off, thats your prerogative my friend lol
Pretty much sums up how I feel. Got the game on steam to support Rem and I don't care what hentai games my friends see me play. It's whatever to me.
