Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Run a game in which it's executable or DRM will require a connection.

Observed results:
Steam displays a pop up message saying it needs to be online to work. Which will make the user think Steam requires an internet connection for all games in general.

Here's a screenshot of it taken on a Steam Deck by a confused user due to the lack of information:

Expected results:
Steam should inform the user that it's the game or its DRM that it's requiring Steam to be online in the pop up message.
