Never buy from stores that allow DRM, like Steam.

Pretty sure that Gog's "DRM control" would have rejected this game ?

Even better to buy directly from the devs, or from small publishers, like Matrix/Slitherine - but keep an eye out for them turning big and evil, like (Micro)ActiBlizz.

(Another issue is platform-tied features that make you a second-class citizen : never buy games that have a Steam Workshop or use Steam Multiplayer.)

I didn’t think the server was for DRM, but I don’t know for sure. I like both GOG and Steam.

I’ll probably be kicking myself if Valve ever gets sold, but I’m pretty happy with it for now.
