Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy FO4 goty from GOG instead of steam? You can still customize controls perfectly fine and all the mods/expansions still work? It won't play any differently to a steam bought game except it will be in non-steam games?

I know games usually work fine, but I haven't bought a new game from GOG since I got my steamdeck, so I'm nervous.

I try to buy things on GOG when I can just for the sake of diversifying my dependence on one company.

There are plenty of guides to setting up Heroic Launcher on the Deck. Once its set up, it's easy to install games.

I've found GOG games to run perfectly fine, and cloud saves work perfectly.

Lastly, I saw some other people saying GOG doesn't have the latest version of this game specifically, so definitely check that before buying.
