This better on GOG or Steam?

[Incarnate]

Thinking about picking this up and maybe getting Phantom Liberty at some point. Assuming prices are the same, is there any reason to get it here rather than (DRM-free version) on GOG?

steam, GOG is a dead platform

I got it on GOG at release and regret it. GoG Galaxy launcher was great for a time but it feels like they have completely abandoned it over the last two years. Nearly every platform integration is broken, even the official ones, and it doesn't seem like any steps are being taken to fix the issues.

Steam is always better if u ask me.

One advantage to GOG is that you aren't forced to use the latest build of the game. That isn't implemented for Steam currently for this game so we get the traditional 'the patch has broken my mods' threads as well as the occasional 'why does my game crash with this update which has raised the min specs?'.

same game different launchers so pick the one you like the most

Can't reply for some reason, but consider this a reply to Zebedee:

Isn't it possible to turn off automatic update for this game in order to maintain your mods? Not sure as my other steam modding experience consists of Fallout 4 and a few others, which typically have seperate launchers and saves.

Think you should be able to avoid it updating (disable automatic, load from exe) but you can never roll back.

If you want to give the developers potentially more money, then buy it on GOG, as that is their sister company to CDProject Red, so they will receive a potentially better cut. Think what Valve is to Steam for a rough comparison. Steam, like any store, takes a portion of the sale price.
GOG also has more fluff if you buy over there, concept art and "freebies" that often arent on other platforms, small things like wallpapers and stuff. Nice, if that is your thing.
Thats about the only differences I can think of as far as the game is concerned.

There are a thousand arguments to be made both for and against Steam when you compare both platforms feature list. My above suggestion is only looking at the game alone and nothing else. For example, Steams couch co-op feature is a godsend for me and I love it, but Im not about to suggest that to you as a reason to buy on Steam :D

I have the gog version and enjoy booting it up from there with no problem. There's some small things about it that I prefer but I doubt it's anything Steam can't do. I do like the convenience of having most everything on Steam though so I may have gone with Steam if I were to do a do over. Either way you get the game and I hope you enjoy it! Base game seems to go on sale for half off pretty often.
