Does anyone have experience with playing Baldurs Gate 3 from GOG? (feddit.de)

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

From what I've heard, the Steam version also lacks DRM. Once you've downloaded it you can close Steam and just launch the game with the exe. Obviously GOG or Steam is still handy for updates.

That’s good to know, my sons were interested in it, now we can all have a good gaming session together before they decide if they want to buy it. Sadly there is no PS5 cross play (although saves can be linked) so I am going to have to buy the PS5 version to play with friends. Still I don’t mind giving Larian some more money as the game is just fantastic, relatively bug free and even performs pretty well on the steam deck.
