Hee, hee, hee, hee...... Go here:- http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93959913 see the 'Recent announcements' text block "Pre-order is now available on GOG.....(and including this text)..... "As many of you know, games released on GOG never come with any kind of DRM protection" . The game was "Greenlit" to be offered on Steam by the Steam community too....more "salt.on wound".... Wonder how long it will be until Gabe chokes on his hamburger and orders a takedown of this notice?? Valve, being chronic $$control-freaks$$, will probably now contractually insist that any games achieving "greenlit" status either be sold exclusively using Steam-DRM,. or have a limited Steam initial exclusivity.... BTW, you can indeed now preorder the game on GOG.... DRM-free, of course.... John Lewis
