valkord: My dilemma is, whether to purchase some of these Batman game, or abstain from doing so, given that:
...the only notable differences between the GOG versions and the Steam versions, would be:
*
Arkham Knight GOG version has an Earth-2 Dark Knight skin that isn't included in the
Arkham Knight Steam version
*
Arkham Knight GOG version does not have Achievements, whereas
Arkham Knight Steam version does
*
Arkham Origins - Season Pass GOG version already includes the Black Mask Challenge Pack (adds 2 challenger maps), whereas the
Arkham Origins - Season Pass Steam version does not (instead, it is separately
listed on Steam)
... so with that being said, I am still having buyer's hesitation on whether to:
a) spend more money on getting these GOG versions at -85% newsletter discount prices ... or
b) I could just keep the Steam versions that I had already purchased, and wait for a (Steam key-specific) sale on
Batman: Arkham Origins - Season Pass DLC
Questions that only you can answer:
Are these differences between the versions so important to you? I mean: important enough to buy the game(s) a second time?
How high are the chances that you plan on playing any of these games ever again?
How high are the chances, that these games won't be available anymore on Steam, at the time when you decide to play them again (IF you decide to play them again)?
These should be the deciding factors, really.
I own games on Steam, that I could rebuy here on GOG.
But I won't.
Simply because:
a) they didn't meet my expectations, and/or
b) I did enjoy them, but I don't plan on playing them ever again (doesn't matter, if they will be available on Steam in the future, or not).
Rebuying such games (here or elsewhere) would be a waste of money.
But again: only you can answer these questions for yourself.
If you are generally ok with using Steam, and you don't fear them going out of business rather sooner than later - wait for the sale on the B: AO Season Pass.
Personally, I doubt that Steam will go the way of the Dodo in the foreseeable future (
probably not in my lifetime).
But everyone has their own spin on that.
