Prepare for mod madness.

At first the newcomers need to be guided through the first steps.

Great news indeed, the more ways to buy this game the better :)

Some people have a "thing" about buying from Steam if it can be avoided.
GOG, GMG etc seem to be popular alternatives.

[MrKrabs]

Didn't know that.
But anyway.

Thanks for your explanation. 😊

This is absolutely wonderful news! I'll probably throw gift copies around on that platform!

To be more specific, GOG specifically gets a lot of preference, from me included (though you'll see I did buy on this platform), because GOG does not allow any form of DRM such as Denuvo or always online requirements for games which can be played offline in anything sold there. They also always provide compressed file installers you can download, often including older versions of games, if you don't want to use their store manager Galaxy that functions like Steam. It also means games I really care about I can put those installers on external drives and never lose access to the games I want to preserve, as they could still be used to install the game even if GOG no longer existed. They are very important to people who care about media preservation.

How does steam workshop work with GOG?

Now it doesn't. You used to be able to manually download mods from the workshop but Valve put a stop to that. Once the game is on other storefronts though we're likely to see several mods wind up on platforms like Nexus Mods.
