I'm fine with GOG but I generally prefer Steam, especially when
achievements are available, which they are for this game. Thank you
Ant!

I want both!

Steam for actually PLAYING the games, and GOG for the nice back-up
installers.

In truth, if I have the game on both platforms, almost inevitably I'll
use the Steam version to install and play the game. But while Valve
has -so far- been a reliable custodian of PC gaming, I've absolutely
no faith that will continue forever, and I like having the backups GOG
provides. One day Newell may keel over (it'll happen; it's just one
cheeseburger too many and bam!) and his heirs will probably sell off
the company to some rapacious corporation who don't have the same
standards as Gabe.

Not to mention Steam already limits me from playing any of my games on
their service on XP machines.

I got both for free too. I just need to figure out when to play it!
