March 25, 201510 yr Steam if GoG Galexy was done, I'd get my copy there. Sadly I expect that GoG's software will be done about two weeks before Witcher 3 is released.
March 25, 201510 yr Steam does DRM-free as well. Wasteland 2, and a ton of other games on Steam are DRM-free. I'm wondering if PoE will also be DRM-free on Steam.

I'll get mine on GoG and pick up a Steam version down the line when it's on sale. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
March 25, 201510 yr Don't know yet, both have their pluses and minuses Steam + Easy patching + time tracking - game locked to Steam/Valve, so game lost if I mess up somehow and get my account banned - Extra client to have always running GOG + DRM free + great ideals - patching is a pain in the ass - slower to get patches out as they have to go through some process or other first I tend to think of new stuff on Steam, old stuff on GOG. Its been an easy choice on a couple of Kickstart projects as I've had two keys, so I've redeemed one on each service (Wasteland 2, Tex Murphy Tesla, and one or two others)
March 25, 201510 yr Only 35%, huh? Well, that's at least something. Hopefully more people will come over to GOG when Galaxy is available.
March 25, 201510 yr Steam. Because I was less than happy with my GoG version of Wasteland 2. Missed a patch, the next one wasn't compatible with my version any more, had to download the full client again instead of a few MB. Sucks if you're on a slow DSL connection. I love GoG, but usually only buy older titles from them. Incidentally, I had the same problem and just emailed support; they uploaded the patch I missed and emailed me a link.

Because, unlike Steam, they have support... Fast support, too. And not uncommonly lower prices. I only wish they were as fast about getting patches up; I'd prefer GOG overall, but I'm going with Steam for my digital copy because of that and the preloading.
March 25, 201510 yr Been going back and forth even till today... but in the end I chose Steam. Preload + faster patches + possibility to upgrade my edition to include documentary & almanac for a cheaper price.
March 25, 201510 yr I generated a steam key for my digital version, as I have a physical copy of the game being sent to me as per my backer status. I don't mind it on Steam because of the ease of patching and how unobtrusive the client is.
March 25, 201510 yr GoG for me. Yeah the patching is not ideal (the headache of Divinity and Dreamfall), but I also don't like auto-patching. Plus, there's always that second copy anyway.
March 25, 201510 yr I did both GOG and Steam. I'm an achievement whore and caved in to Steam. But also wanted a copy for my GOG bookshelf.

March 25, 201510 yr Except Lionheart, damn that was a disappointment. So much potential. So bad. The first city was alright (basically the only bit of the game that got fleshed out before it became a hack-and-slash fest). "Geez.

March 25, 201510 yr Steam, because I love hoarding achievements. I'll grab it on GOG again at some point because DRM-free always wins.
March 25, 201510 yr GOG is clearly the winner to me. DRM free all the way! And I love their catalogue.
