Correct, the Steam and GOG versions are 100% the same and can be run directly from the executable.

Well, that was a bummer.
Either GOG doesn't like my card or my card doesn't like GOG.

Maybe next time?

I will soon get your games on GOG.
For those who wonder if it's better than Steam, and how it works on GOG, it goes like this:

You download your purchased games, you install, you double-click the exe file or shortcut and : you play. No disturbing game interface or other ****e, you can concentrate on the game, and the game only

To update a game: You launch a program called 'GOG Galaxy', there you log in once so the program remembers your account, you see immediately which update versions are available and you download, update and continue playing. Simple, and no, you don't need to launch this program every time, only when you want to update.

Thanks Killerfish Games for your interesting sales!

So, it works exactly the same way it does on steam then LOL.
Because you don't need to have the client open to run it and open steam to update it.

No sir, check your task manager to see futile background programs running, try to play offline when not launching Steam interface, try to mod a somewhat complex game on Steam, or quickly install your game on your laptop because you go on travel ... I'll comment no further the Steam mess because I'm a polite man.
Instead on GOG you deal with your game. That's what you paid for, and it's also a quality difference. The games on GOG work.

Count me in for Cold Waters .

I have no problem buying from GOG and prefer it as often as possible as you CAN play offline vs Steam not always being the case . You do have to do the GOG Galaxy online thing to update though .

Sometimes you just want to play a game offline , or its due to servers down , ISP down , or what ever the case or reason ; without all the bs .
