You do not get a steam version of games brought on gog. You can very occasionally redeem a game which you own on steam to your gog library, but that is very rare and only up to the dev.

No, you will not. You'll have the ability to download the game through your GoG account. When you buy on GoG, you get a game on GoG - it isn't a steam key reseller.

I'm increasingly of the view that there should be a banner that comes up when you create a new GoG account - like "We do not sell Steam keys. Click to confirm you understand this message"

Others have answered the question but let me just state that buying here is a much, much better idea whenever you have the chance. Unlike on Steam, games you buy here actually belong to you, as opposed to how you essentially just lease the rights to games on Steam and most other platforms. In addition to this, you aren't forced to use their game client (with some very minor exceptions), you can download the offline installers to keep as backups in the event that the site ever goes down or whatever. Furthermore, in most cases, you get a load of extras (called "Goodies" here) that you may or may not get for free via other platforms.

The only downside is that, if you own the base game on Steam, you'll have to re-purchase it here if you want to get the expansions. It's absolutely worth doing so, IMO, but that's entirely up to you.

The sad part is that's probably a good idea.

Maybe, but I feel threads like this have become rarer.

Happy to help! Sorry that the community downvoted your post.. it was an honest question, so I'm really not sure why they did that. I can understand their frustration but really, honest questions don't deserve downvotes IMO.
