Witcher 3's value with the GoG version depends on your preferences and needs.

You're considering purchasing Witcher 3 on Steam at £25 or the GOG version priced at £50. What are your thoughts on whether the higher price is justified?

It doesn't seem to add up. You're right about the DLC, and it really isn't worth the investment.

They’re essentially identical except for the presence of DRM in one version.

Probably just the DRM variation, maybe a small change.

You might have purchased it for the same cost on GoG over the last couple of months since it had been discounted for a while.

Yes, you can still modify the ini configuration files using the Steam version.

It's just a cost variation, and it's much simpler to set up on Steam. Unfortunately, I dislike how GOG forces installations—it's really frustrating. Just download it from Steam; you can still manage the .ini files if needed.

It prompts you to download around 12 files for the game, after which you must install each patch in the right sequence, then separately install all the DLCs. With Steam, simply download it and everything will be handled automatically without needing thousands of separate files.
