No worries. It's an easy mistake to make sometimes. ;)

Dear customer, to get the discounted rate please attach a screenshot showing you logged into STEAM or competitors sites showing your user name and game in question.

Another option would be to give GOG access to STEAM public profile?

First part should have read: "If you only have a few games, given the choice purchase thru GOG".

I'm about the cheapest guy you'll even meet, when I walk I squeak.

That said there are situations paying more is done on principle or other factors vs just price alone.

If the price is reasonably close paying a little extra is worth it to me to obtain games that are DRM-FREE, and that I've got a copy of the installer that can be run locally I can control.

To me it's worth the extra cost to not have to worry about install limits or other DRM el-bull-crap-o.

I also like the fact that purchasing thru GOG vs STEAM I have "ownership" of the product. (License to the software vs only a license to the STEAM SERVICE as per games acquired thru STEAM.)

While I admit STEAM pricing is very attractive and I do purchase STEAM games, pricing isn't everything.

The last reason for preferring GOG over STEAM is GOG gives a 30-day money back warranty on games they sell and they seem to "test" or have games modified to run on current OS's.

Ah, so we're generally in agreement, and I agree with your reasons of when to buy at GOG.
