I buy it on steam, because downloading the individual game installer files is annoying, and GOG Galaxy never worked right for me on windows.
On Linux, however, Lutris has good GOG integration, so I can just log into my GOG account via Lutris and install literally every game I own (which I have like 100 on gog) without much issue now.
It’s a lot of extra steps, though, and for me I’ve got two separate Linux systems I’m generally running things on.
I don’t disagree with the logic, I just wish GOG had a Linux client. It’s not just about Steam Deck (even though that’s driven a lot of recent Proton development) – there are serious issues with continued reliance on Microsoft, and FOSS solutions offer gamers a way to maintain a freedom they are otherwise likely to lose. It seems like GOG would want to support that effort.
I wonder if there could be a torrent site that is decentralized enough that no one really has significant liability for running it, like Bittorrent itself but for the indexing/curation aspect.
I use Steam mainly because I haven’t found any major issues with how Valve does things overall. It’s been a fairly good experience for many years. Plus, with the steam deck it’s much more convenient to have on Steam.
Now, I’m thinking if the price goes low enough, I’d pick it off GoG to download the installer and store someone just in case. I like the idea of having a backup just in case.
I actually use steam to install the GoG game installers and completely bypass the heroic launcher.
In short, I hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
For some reason I’m on Rogue Legacy 2, cause it’s free with PS Plus Extra. Simple rogue lite, and right now life is kinds stressful so it’s nice to pick up a game that I don’t really need to think about. The mechanics are fun, and it’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a platformer like this. Also playing Humanity from PA Plus, and it’s excellent. Almost done with it, and looking forward to trying out some of the user-made levels once I’m done with the story mode.
I get all my news from Lyle Rath on Pregame Discharge. He’s told me it’s the only videogame show, so I’m surprised to hear about all these other shows.
I enjoy listening to these podcasts more for their entertainment value than just trying to get the best information.
