If you ordered it online, what does it say on the order history? What does it say your card is in system info?

You sure you didn’t buy a 5600X? It was released in November 2020.

If not, it could be a 3600X.

Why does AMD naming suck so hard

GOG for DRM-free, unless there is a benefit to Steam. For example, Spelunky gets a daily challenge only on Steam.

I also go GOG first. I like the whole DRM-free aspect.

Memory is a funny thing, don’t beat yourself up over it. Every time you remember something, the memory itself is altered in your mind. We know now that you didn’t have a 7600X, but I think it can also be true that you remembered buying one.

GOG. I like actually owning the games I buy

Yup. Steam is my go-to because of easy game steaming, steam deck integration, etc. But I know what I’m sacrificing for that convenience. Luckily Valve is an incredibly customer focused company and I have a huge amount of (well deserved IMO) faith in. GOG however is definitely still the best way to own your games.

Always GOG. While I’ve loved Steam for years and still do, I’d rather have a stronger ownership over my games.

When I used Windows I mainly bought on Gog for the DRM-free aspect. Now that I’ve switched to Linux almost completely, I find Steam’s software for running Windows games on Linux to be just about the most seamless and easy to use, compared to other stuff I’ve tried like Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher.

Same story here. I thought Linux support would be right in line with GoG’s philosophy but their stance has been understandable but a bit disappointing. Valve makes it easy for me so they get my money.

They did actually promise a native Linux client years ago. Seems they stopped caring at some point though.

I use Steam. CDPR has burned me with several of their games and I refuse to give them money anymore.

CloverSi, rok temu

CDPR as in CD Projekt Red? Are they associated with GOG in some way?

CoconutKnight, rok temu

I think GoG is CDPR’s client

Ductos, rok temu

@CoconutKnight @CloverSi Yes, it is. A separate division, but still the same company.

mnemonicmonkeys, rok temu

Yes. CDPR owns GOG

CoconutKnight, rok temu

I personally like most of their games, so I am curious what you dislike about them?

ILikeBoobies, rok temu do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

GOG but I don’t because despite my 12 game library, I can’t gift because none of the games were over $15 and if I buy a game over that then it’s a 3 month waiting period

I like Steam’s Linux push but I don’t like their support and I don’t like their monopoly

GOG for drm free. I’m always gutted when I buy on steam, but forget to check GOG and it’s there.

SheeEttin, rok temu

There’s probably a browser extension for that

Usually GOG, but now that I’m slowly switching to Linux and finding out how hard it is to run some games from GOG, I’m looking to move back onto Steam for games I want on my Linux laptop.

nutlink, rok temu do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

GOG. DRM-free support needs all the help it can get. I have nothing but respect for Steam, so it's my secondary choice. The only exception is if it's a game that's been out for a while and there's been discrepancies between GOG and Steam support (or a dev/publisher with a history of said issues), in which case I'll go with the one that's better supported.

What is GOG?

Google, rok temu

Good Old Games. They sell lots of old PC games that you can’t find anywhere else and since many old games can’t run in modern architecture, they will usually package the games up in a way that they can run without you having to run your own emulators or virtual machines.

They also sell modern games and have their own game library software similar to Steam except unlike Steam it is DRM free.

Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.
