I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

That doesn't allow you to update the game though, so it doesn't work out great for new games with frequent updates and a large download file size.

I have only used it to download older games, so I have no idea how it handles updates.

@Dubious_Fart @Raincloud I get this error when I play some games from GOG through heroic which happens on steam deck. Also, controller support is not great on gog through heroic. So, this makes me stay on steam to play games. Anyway, I hear that steam has drm free games so if BG3 and Star field are drm free then it doesn’t matter if it’s on steam or gog.
