Not always twice...anyway stop trailing red herrings.. And the GOG
versions come with ALL available extra goodies... soundtracks etc.
For my large collection of classic PC games, finally the total freedom
from either the Steam umbilical or (copy-protected) CD/DVD installs is
so refreshing. I keep all my GOG install-files on a desktop USB3.0
drive (and archived elsewhere)... lightning fast installs.  Just one
download of each game + its extras... done. No need to log-on to some
junk umbilical website like Steam/Impulse/Gamersgate/Origin/etc  to
re-install or play. Install anywhere at any time. If the game has an
MP mode, the key is provided.

Still flogging that dead horse? By now, only the skeleton must be
left.
