On the one hand I like GOG because it has no DRM and has better prices (in my country) than Steam and I have the feeling that on the one hand it follows more the open source philosophy than Steam itself, but Steam has helped enormously to play Windows games on Linux, so I haven’t really made up my mind.
On the one hand I want to buy on Steam for the convenience, but on the other hand I prefer GOG because (in my country) is cheaper. Which platform do you prefer and why?
To give an example, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is currently $15 on Steam with regional pricing, but on GOG it’s worth just $6.
You guys buy games? Lol 🏴☠️
Fun fact: On average, pirates spend significantly more on games and media compared to the average person. You must be an outlier.
most pirates are kids without any money.
That fact sounds like complete bullshit. Currently at 10tb+ of free media on my personal plex server, 2000+ games. Free shit rules, but it’s even better when you can afford it but choose not to spend your money on it lol
You’d be wrong, it’s been repeatedly shown to be true:

I used to pirate games and I still do but just to test games to see if it’s a keeper. Then buy it on steam later.
Imagine pirating games in 2024
I don’t have to imagine
