minus-squareDariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·3 days agoI’m trying to buy around 50% of my games on GOG and the other 50% on Steam. Clearly the ease of use award goes to Steam, especially on Linux. Gog is still okay thanks to Heroic but it is a commitment with no background downloading on Steam Deck and slow downloads. I guess we, gamers, only have to make sure that Valve still has competition so that they can’t just turn evil. For now, I really appreciate how Valve is supporting Linux and I appreciate how GOG understand that we want to own our games and play them forever.
