steam vs gog ?

[Conker]

since worms w.m.d. will be available @ gog too

will steam players be abe to play against gog players and even meet them in ranked play ?

or is the community split between steam and gog galaxy ?

GOG Galaxy - GOG.com client - have cross-play function
Description
Crossplay-enabled games offer online play between GOG and Steam. Because where you buy your games shouldn't prevent you from playing with friends.

So why Worms WMD haven't this option? Why, Team17? Why, Jonno? Why? :D

I just figured it might be due to different versions of the game. As in, Steam version will get updates and GOG version won't.

Lol it requires effort.

Other than being DRM-free, on GOG you also get extras which is nice (manual, soundtrack, wallpapers, concept art, even papercraft castle for Worms Forts) and here you get one big NOTHING. Except for WP, we got the manual here as well, but no soundtrack. It's not that they couldn't include it, but they just decided to put it on GOG and not here. Very fair.

[Krava]

isn't that standard extras for all GOG games (and you don't get those on steam games that are on GOG)?

What do you mean by standard? Yes, but it's the developers that decide what they'll put there. Games like Arkham series (and Worms World Party Remastered), for example, have manual included on Steam but the vast majority doesn't, unfortunately.

I wonder if the officials can clarify whether the GOG version will get the same updates as the Steam version.

Wait, why wouldn't the GOG version of the game get updates? That would actually be more work than just updating the steam version?!?

[Tilen]

I think that it's in this thread that someone pointed out that the GOG version of Sheltered is 1.0 while the Steam one is 1.3+

edit: it's in the other gog thread

No one knows. When WWP released on GOG/STEAM, the gog updates lagged behind.

And that, apparently...

As much as I love GOG, think this would be one of the better reasons to go with Steam this time. And the worst thing is: this is not GOG's fault. It IS the better platform for buying and playing games but developers mostly focus on Steam, unfortunately.

Well, surely they knew everything that will happen if they do such a thing, I'm sure they are somehow prepared to deal with all this ass-pain due to multiple platforms and distribution services. If not, they can just do the usual and abandon the game after one or two patches.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time to abandon the game, announce a new one and start talking about that one being the ultimate title of the series, but I'm really hoping that doesn't happen this time.

The only time I've seen this, actually, is with Worms: Revolution and Clan Wars. How they dared release Clan Wars as a seperate game is beyond me. But... I didn't care for Clan Wars.
