Hey, so for some time now i had this problem… I have been buying games from both gog and steam… No drm option is good on gog but there are some festures missing from what steam has, for example being able to buy games from trading cards… What should i do? Focuse on buying games from gog and if there isnt a game then buy it on steam? Or maybe just buy games on steam?
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 me 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)
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.
You’re again missing the point, and then you try backpedaling by saying you weren’t actually being serious just to cover your bases. Jesus what an absolute twat you are.
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 - https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_is_it_truly_more_difficult_for_developers_to_update_their_games_on_gog/page1
That seems worthy of being a top level response to the question
