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.

@Nioxic @JustEnoughDucks Steamworks is DRM. Not all games on Steam use Steamworks.

There are DRM-free games available on Steam. They can be downloaded and installed with SteamCMD, run without the Steam client, and even copied to other computers that don't have Steam installed and run without it.
