Kaldaien Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 When I ponied up for the boxed collector's edition it was with the understanding that the included digital copy would be available on the distribution service of my choosing. However, I looked at my order earlier today and it says the following: Digital Downloadable Copy of Pillars of Eternity, DRM free for Windows, Mac, or Linux.DRM free prohibits Steam, which is the only service I would ever want a digital copy of a game from in the first place. Did something change between when I ordered this and now, or is this just a misleading bullet point in the order description? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonntam Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It means you can choose a DRM free game copy, by downloading it from GoG. If you don't care about DRM, you can choose a Steam game copy anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Box Version of Pillars of Eternity, DRM free for Windows, Mac, or Linux, with DVD and printed manual. My understanding would be the DVD is DRM free not the digital download. Under a black flab we compile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leferd Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) To reiterate, you can choose a digital download copy for either Steam or GOG. Your physical backer disc will be DRM free not tied to either Steam or GOG. However, retail discs will be tied to Steam.

I don't even care about the disc version (which apparently will not even ship until _after_ release date), but I'd like to add the digital copy to my Steam library and earn achievements. So this is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
