Witcher 3 on Steam vs. GOG

I wonder if I want to buy Witcher 3 on steam or GOG.

 

I know that GOG is DRM free, but Witcher 3 is cheaper at steam...

 

Witcher 3 is 59,99€ at GOG

 

Witcher 3 is 48€ on steam.

 

so it is any other bonuses buying it from GOG, and it it worth it?

It matters that you don't just give up.”

Well, I got the soundtrack (20+ songs), free DLC, free HD wallpapers, and zero problems with Galaxy or the game, plays flawlessly in 2 970's and a 1440p panel

I have it installed but been really busy. If I bought 2 does that mean I get two copies or just one. Thank you so much. I will check tonight and let you know if I got a copy.

You might be able to get 2 copies if you register them separately on two accounts.

GoG was the same price vs Steam for me, so IO went the GoG road.  GoG is owned by CD Projekt, the parent company of Witcher 3 developers CD Projekt Red.  I rather give them all the money rather than have Steam take a cut from sales, as I would really want to support CDPR as much as I can.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
