Steam vs GOG (version differences)

[Uncle Eddie]

Now that the game is back on the store, I was wondering if there are any differences between steam and gog versions (apart from the obvious achievements, trading cards, drm)?

I'm wondering whether they removed licenced music or not?

In the Steam version you can get the commentary which you can watch during your gameplay, which, personally, I really like in a game. To bad almost every game doesn't have but should include in the game or as DLC.
The GoG version I'm not sure if you get the commentary videos or not but you do get: Manual, Wallpaper, Alan Wake Files Book, Making Of Videos, Writer In The Cabin Videos, Night Springs Episodes, Poets Of The Fall - War Music Video

There are many differences in the extra content.
For example:
- In Steam you can get the soundtracks in mp3 for both games, while GOG does not have them
- There are some extra videos in GOG version that are not in Steam version.
- There are some extra videos in Steam version that are not in GOG version.
- Steam version has lots of wallpapers while GOG version doesn't.
- Steam version has all the scrips + 2 comics, while GOG version doesn't.

In some way, you get more content from the Steam version than from the GOG version.

Another thing is, you can easily set the language to Latin American Spanish in the GOG version, while the Steam version requires a DLC that is currently no longer available, forcing you to search for the required files in external sites if you want to play the game in that language.
