Why is the GoG Version so much cheaper then the Steam Version?

[Endeffect]

I just visited some Key Shops and the GoG Key's cost just 8 € and the Steam Version always 17+.

I really would like to buy it but GoG Version is a no go for me since i want have all of my Games in one Place.

Discussion about key shops? Really? If you wanna trust those Hong Kong based "companies" with your personal data and support credit card fraud (you might be the next victim #phishing mail from your new associate) to save a few bucks, go ahead.

The regular price is the same at GoG and Steam. Why the grey market prices fluctuate is not really a topic that should be discussed here. Obviously people who buy half-legit goods prefer the steam version. Supply and demand, you know...

At any given point Steam, GoG, or Green Man Gaming can have different prices, just a fact of life. I have, however, learned the hard way that GoG is simply not a reliable option for "living" games (basically, games still actively supported via updates or expansions). Updates are slow to hit their system, and unless stuff has changed recently, updating when it is available, is an awkward affair.

I dislike astroturfers and I dislike fanboys.

"GOG.com
Library features Installing, updating and syncing saves - with you in charge. Install & auto-update Install any game with a single click, and GOG Galaxy will keep it always up to date."

I have never had a problem with GOG, just as I have never had a problem with Steam, but I must admit, I have bought many games from GOG, simply because they are cheaper than Steam, and also because GOG optimizes older games for modern systems a lot better. i.e. Falcon 4.0, this game doesn't even work if you buy from steam 100% confirmed and guaranteed. But GOG put more effort in to make it work.

Even if you buy it on GOG, you'll still have all of your games in one place. With GOG Galaxy you can join most of the gaming platforms, EA Play, Ubisoft Games Launcher, Steam, and Epic Games Launcher, in one place, including all of your friends who can send notifications and chat whilst playing. Even better than on Steam where when you add a non-Steam game and your friends will just be notified that you are playing just "a non-Steam game", without any game icon or game settings you can do. Being a fanatic just to one game service and not buying anything from elsewhere, instead of always looking and choosing for the best offer it's pretty much tunnel vision for your mind and wallet.
