Acceptable. It is a game worth owning outright in itself.

"Owning." Unless you purchased a physical copy.
It launches without Steam running. Steam is required to download it but otherwise it's DRM free.
Laughs in GOG
The main benefit GOG provides is their installers, which you can backup yourself. DRM-free Steam games don't, so you'd need to package up the files yourself (usually all in the steam directory).
That's not a huge advantage imo, so I generally take the convenience of Steam over GOG, especially since I use Linux and GOG hasn't bothered to port their client to my platform. Regardless, DRM-free is better.
I use lutris to manage my games, which is decently integrated with GOG. I ended up installing Galaxy for Baldur's Gate 3 because of the frequency of updates, but I mostly use the installers directly.
That's fair.
I prefer to buy from platforms that actively support me instead of leaving it to the community. Valve invests a lot of time and money into improving Proton/WINE, and they build in useful features like controller configuration into their platform.
If GOG supported Galaxy on Linux, I'd probably buy more from them. But they don't, and I have a Steam Deck, so I prefer Steam.
Thought it was weird to release brand new games straight to gamepass to begin with

Good. Fuck subscriptions.
"I know what I got"
I mean MS would have to shell out bookoo bucks for this to come to GamePass anytime soon. Probably a year or two down the line. Regardless Larian isn’t going to say they’re putting it on GP as it would slow down sales on the platform during the holidays.
what is a ' bookoo buck ' ?
beaucoup?
Bone apple tea.
It’s an American saying, basically meaning a lot of money in this case. You can use bookoo to mean a lot of any thing really.
No, it's a French weird, beaucoup, that has made its way to English vernacular. For example, "merci beaucoup" means "thanks a lot."
Either the OP doesn't know that, or didn't bother actually looking up the spelling.
Huh. Well yeah I never knew that either, growing up in the South that was a pretty common saying with a similar spelling to how I wrote it originally(being the south the misspelling makes total sense now haha). Nice to know where it comes from though. Thanks for the info!
"Bookoo", derived from the French Bucchane, for smoked meat; this is also the origin of the word "buccaneer", as they generally live in it while at sea.
Makes sense, I love GamePass for titles without significant replay value anything else is a value-add. BG3 is hugely replayable.
