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.

    I was all in on GOG 10-12 years ago when they said they were working on Linux support “soon”

    After so many years of promises and no action, while Valve pays developers to improve Linux gaming, I’d rather buy from Steam

    Prices tend to be similar between the platforms here, though
