If I buy on GOG at 50% off is there a code to download it via steam?

[Drudge Jedd]

Just wondering if I can play the game through steam if I buy something on GOG. Never have just wondering if anyone knew. Thanks

[GIJoe597]

I purchase many games from GOG. They are not Steam capable.

[Mysticalmaid]

No you have to play via Gog iirc.

[Asmosis]

has to be played via GoG as mentioned, however it is all in the same universe so you can visit bases made via steam or PS4 etc. AFAIK proper multiplayer is cross platform as well, but dont quote me on that.

[Drudge Jedd]

thanks! and wow no pretentious or trollish comments XD It's amazin'

As far as I know we are not in the same universe, it is more like parallel universes for every game mode (creative / normal / survival / permadeath) and every platform (PC / PS4 / Xbox).
Here is an official response from GoG to NMS crossplay.

i got mine a fue hours ago off of g 2 play when you buy it. they give you a redeem code. go to the bottem of your steam page on left side you see add game and then go to activate a product on steam. mine worked just fine. i might have got the last copy as there was 4 a fue days ago. and there was one left when i got mine. but they always add more.

creative/normal/survival/permadeath are straight up different universes. The permutations are different for the planets and bases/players arent shared.

platforms on the other hand are different. I've visited PC bases on my PS4 game, however i dont know if any of the players/orbs i saw were from PC.

I'm sorry what store?
*edit*
oh <censored store name>. right well GoG is about $10-20 cheaper currently than the key seller sites depending on your region. The (possible) downside is your not on steam.

Looking a bit further that site sucks, majorly. Aside from the fact its a key seller, the prices are higher than what steam sells the games for O.o

From what I recall, the next update didnt come out on GOG, so better look into that before buying there.

Actually, it did.

I have heard many times that Steam servers, PS4 servers, and GOG servers do not share bases to each other. I would like it for that to change, if it hasn't already, but I doubt that it has happened yet.

It was just the 4 person multiplayer portion that was delayed by a few months.

Thanks, I forgot that universe is effected by the game mode.

Can you give me a certain example regarding the bases?
You maybe encountered one of the awesome bases of Kibbles, who builds on both PC and PS4, for example the arenas for Galactic Hub Star League[nomanssky.gamepedia.com].

No, no Steam play capability if you buy on GOG, also no shared multiplayer currently for NMS between Steam and GoG, MP only possible between GOG players.
However, the new NMS Online in the new version next summer could change this, but it's not sure, so don't take it for granted.

The advantage with GOG versions is: you have total control about game versions that you can update or downgrade at any time if you want. This is not possible with Steam which updates the game in online mode - wether you want it or not. Also GOG versions are DRM free, no nasty background services on your computer.

The advantage with Steam: Larger game catalogue, a far better refund policy.
