witcher 2 :gog or steam

[Wile E. Coyote]

so i completed witcher 1 last week(on gog) , now im looking forward to witcher 2. i own it on both steam & gog hence im confused what to choose for witcher 2. as both provies cloud saves, so game saves wont be difficult to handle. but i want to know if it makes difference in performance when it comes to FPS.

thank you

[Ceejay]

No difference.

which ever would cost you less money at the time of purchase

gog is cheaper
gog money goes straight to developer.
I've made a mistake buying trilogy here.

Erm some slight mis-information here.

Gog is cheaper.

Overall yes, but if you buy in the sales, you can pick up some bargins on steam. For instance when I got witcher 3 in a sale it was cheaper on steam than gog, while I have the odd gog game, I like to have all my games in one place as much as possible, damm you EA forcing me to use Origin as well. :p

Gog money goes straight to developer?

What? Totally wrong, this is a werid old wives tale that keeps persisting despite people being told otherwise, how on earh could they survive without taking a cut. Both Steam and GOG take around 30% though it can vary a little.

Post 5, right off their forums, and if you google, quite a lot of results back this up.

How have you made a mistake? Do the games run? Sound more like anti-steam rubbish to me.

Ceejay, I have breaking news for you. GOG belongs to CDProjekt.
And Witcher is on sale there right now.

I do not see what that has to do with anything. Valve has games available on steam. Its the same thing. You are insinuating gog does not take a cut from devs, they do take a cut from devs, while cd project own gog, it is own entity, so its very likely gog would still initially take a cut to help to keep the gog platform running.

As for your mistake are you saying you should only buy a game from the platform that their devs own? So you should only by an EA game on origin for instance..

Yes, CDP takes a share from themselves on their own platform and then throws it out of window.
How old are you?

No they do not throw it out the window, it goes into gog's bank account to help keep gog afloat and pay gog's bills. Clearly I am old enough to know how the world works you do not.

Do you think Virgin money shares the same bank account as vigin atlantic, or Virgin Broadand no. They are owned by virgin, but they are seperate companies with seperate banks accounts. Same with gog. Gog and CDP are seperate entities in their own right and with their own bank accounts.

So yes what happens is gog will take a percentage of the game from CDP, and yes cdp will take part of that back as part of a lump sum when it get paid from gog. (just like shareholders are paid) however it will not get the full amount that was taken as some of it will have gone towards paying gog's bills etc. That is how a business operates when it owns another.

All this has nothing do with the op's question however, which I already answered and the op agreed with.

If you buy on gog you support the devs because CDPR owns gog plus you get more bonus things

[Ceejay]

That is true you may get more bonus things, I always check any game I want on the various sites to see which give me the better deal, but for this game, the only real thing is price, buy from whichever is cheaper at the time you want.
Edit
===
Its on sale at the moment on gog for £2.39. So gog defo has the advantage at the moment :p
