I have Steam and GOG installed, but i prefer anytime GOG and no DRM. Or maybe in the future Egosoft will remove the DRM.
Thank you in advance.
Buying from Egosoft will give you a Steam key, they are not selling GoG keys.

However it has already been confirmed that Egosoft will be providing an X4 "no Steam" .exe file which will make the Steam game behave in the same way as the GoG version would, i.e. you can backup the game files and run them anywhere with the no Steam exe.

This will not be available at launch, but shortly afterwards. For XRebirth (the previous game in the franchise) it was 1 year after release but Egosoft have already said it won't take anywhere near that long for X4 to get the same treatment :)

Another GOG user here (where I started with X-Rebirth) and I really appreciate the Day1 DRM-Free launch. This is the second game I ever preorder, so that's a rare thing for me.

Bought on Steam, but I read somewhere that game developers get a larger portion of the sales price from GOG. Obviously I want to support Egosoft and would consider GOG if Egosoft makes more money on the transaction. Can anyone confirm this to be true?

If that's your primary concern, and we're flattered if it is, then the Egosoft shop is the very best place to buy from, as we get all of it. Ultimately, however, the choice is yours and you should buy from wherever suits you best.

Thanks CBJ; will likely keep the Steam version for simplicity and my marriage's sake (wife bought the game for me as a birthday present), but will most assuredly buy a physical copy when\if it is released through the Egosoft store. I like the idea of supporting small dev teams, and Egosoft is probably my favorite (Larian is up there as well as CD Project Red, which is probably not so small anymore).

Also purchased viA GOG as I do like to support their DRM free structure.
So I am very thankful for the opportunity.
I am also thankful that Egosoft provided Streamers like Obsidian Ant with keys to show off the game prior to release.
It made the decision to preorder and go balls deep with the Collectors Edition so much easier.

Another sidenote: I am happy after the issues many had with Rebirth, Egosoft is back at it again.
I do live in Eschweiler/Germany and would guess that the headquarters of Egosoft are about a 10minute drive away from my home. In that vain, I am especially proud that such a globally phenomenon comes from my local region and I am happy to show my appreciation.

All the best for todays release

Best regards
