Question - IDE Yoyo vs Steam

I'm planning on purchasing GM2. I noticed it's slightly cheaper on Steam due to the summer sale.

I'd like to know what is the differences if I was to get it from either of the stores?

I heard of people having problems with buying it from steam actually. Didn't download properly or something.

None. You can buy it from Steam, link your Steam account to your YYG account, download GMS2 directly from YYG, and use it without Steam:

The price difference relates to some esoteric business agreement between YYG and Steam, not to any kind of different versions (there's only one version).
Managed to buy it and linked it to my YYG account.

Question: I have to always be online to use GM2?

no, only once a month (to renew your credential, by relogin in to your yoyogames account - just check the keep me logged box in the login screen)
Weird.. Cos I went down to my local coffeeshop and when I opened GM2 it threw me a popup stating remote name could not be resolved: 'account.yoyogames.com'

:-/ sorry can't help you. I never had any logging issue with that last version (but if I remember right your error was the kind I got with the bugged login 2.0.6.136)

Ahh no worries about it. I'm sure Yoyo is working on it as we speak. This new IDE is really getting me high...

One difference: you won't see some assets on the steam version's marketplace (including mine)

~40% cut that happens on the steam version n ain't doing it unfortunately :p

But if I follow what @Justice said, after buying it off Steam and then downloading it through YYG will I then be able to see those assets?
