After sometime testing pirate version of the game, i want to buy.

STEAM KEY: 23.86 € I have some wallet credit in Humble Store, the game will cost me a little less and give me the Windows / Mac / Linux Steam Key and 5% to charity. FACTORIO.COM 26.99 €: The official game in Factorio.com cost more. Giving the same keys, and download from Wube web. I don't know if claiming the Steam Key reduces the profit of WUBE.

Picking Steam or Wube key, you can claim the other.

GOG 27.09 €, without DRM and unlinked with the rest. Some reviews expose problem playing in LAN (need connection to master server), and lesser updates in GOG (Only stable updates?)

Any help?

For convenience on your behalf, and the lower price, Steam is the best option. You will need to link your Steam account to play online, and gain access to the DRM free downloads and mod portal, that is a simple process.

Buying from our website is best for us, we get 95% of the sale price (redeeming a Steam key does not affect this). We also offer a more generous refund policy on our website compared to Steam.

GOG has no benefit, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have all your games through them. The updates through GOG directly are generally only stable (they package the updates manually), but you can use the in-game updater to get the updates directly from us.
