A Digital Downloadable copy of the game, DRM free on PC, Mac, or Linux + one totally sweet, exclusive desktop WALLPAPER for your PC, Mac, or mobile tablet.
Replace GOG with whatever else there is. DRM free is not a market worth pursuing for most developers. At least not initially. Once most of the bills are paid and the patching is done, you can still try to make a few bucks through a "DRM free" copy.

Right, right, right, right.
DRM free doesn't mean "DRM Free without proper future support". People invested in supporting DRM Free initiatives should be carefull on where and what they spend their money because there's alot of people out there willing to capitalizae on the good will DRM free inititatives currently gather wthout any honest intentions of making good on what they advertise in terms of DRM or DRM Free.

So if it's so insignificant, why bother offering a DRM free version to being with? Perhaps they'll explain that when they get the new FAQ done.

There are many games you can do this with on Steam, yes. We have a thread about it here on the boards you can look at. Many games qualify. Not sure Deus Ex does though, I remember that game requiring Steam to be running.
