Does anyone have experience with playing Baldurs Gate 3 from GOG? (feddit.de)

I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

Because she has my copy of the game installed on her PC too, so with one copy we're able to play together on two different computers instead of sharing a screen.

The lack of DRM means GoG doesn't care about whether I'm online on more than one PC. Steam does, meaning one of us would need to be in offline mode. In games that implement the Steam DRM this would mean that the person in offline mode wouldn't be able to play multiplayer.

Apparently that isn't the case with this game but I didn't realize that.
