Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from?

If you want to own the thing you purchase: gog
If you want to fund a billionaire super yacht and be subject to the whims of a large corporation run by a billionaire: steam
To be there’s no contest but a lot of people on lemmy are corporate shills.

It’s true that gog is better, but to completely misrepresent why people use steam is just disingenuous, it’s a better service than practically any other one out there(aside from gog ofc)

Also, sometimes games on gog don’t receive DLC or patch updates because the devs/publisher forget or don’t care. I remember seeing an extensive list of games, ~250, explaining what they had missing. I think A Hat in Time was one of the worst offenders
Here’s a gog forum post on the problem - www.gog.com/forum/general/…/page1

That seems worthy of being a top level response to the question

I offered one potential motivation which is giving billionaires a yacht
Other people have already listed their own motivation, I’m not required to represent every single possible motivation

That’s not the point, you’re being intentionally disingenuous while not giving all the facts, specifically to prove your point. You don’t have the paint the entire picture, but to imply that the only thing steam has to offer is giving money to a billionaire is bullshit and you know it.

If anyone genuinely thinks my message is the only reason you’d buy from steam.and hardcore refused to read any other comments besides mine… I really dgaf about them. It’s like fox news always says, this is clearly for entertainment purposes only and only a fucking idiot would believe it.
