>>376308187
gog is way better, it just doesn't have the library or established user base that steam has

Dragon Age Origins, Mirror's Edge, Dungeon Keeper 2, The Saboteur and Jade Empire for €19.25 on GOG. Do or nah?

>>376308187
I like GOG for my involved games, like RPGs and such. I can fuck around with the files and play the game however I want.

I like Steam for my shmups and daily puzzle games. It's handy to have the ability to just load up the client and pick the game I want to play from a list, if I'm not looking for one in particular. Plus, when most of the titles are cheap stuff I might only play a few times, the lower price is more welcome.

I'm also concerned about Steam doing something asinine like restrict an account or trying to "update" a Steam game after changing or modding it. Fuck you Steam, you don't need to tell me how to play a 20 year old Fallout title I've already paid for.

There's no reason for me to use gog

Who? I don't even need to argue that Steam is better, because there's literally nothing to argue against.

I like the idea of it more, but unfortunately the free market isn't perfect and I stay with Steam anyway because that's just where all the gaems are. I would love if Steam had an option to disconnect a game from the community and friends list, so I could play Rabi-Ribi without looking like a creepy weeb to my friends. I just like Metroidvanias.

Steam can go fuck themselves.

Had enough of their constant lock downs and hoops. Getting rid of Gifts was bullshit too.

I love GOG for pirating.

>>376309178
Yes, selling torrented games and threatening random innocent people with legal action for pirating games they've never even pirated is really fucking based. Oh, don't forget how based it was when GoG killed abandonware sites.

Pro GOG here, but yeah, they did that. They sold games using cracks and their lawyers tried to sue piraters. They later claimed they had no idea what the "Lawyer affiliate" were doing.

>>376308187
Steam > GOG

Steam: games, both old and new.
GOG: abandonware, The Witcher (Steam has both too).

And no, I don't care about social bullshit; I only care about games being available for purchase, and GOG has a very poor catalog.

>>376309519
>What? I gifted my friend Gta 5 back in March

They got rid of inventory gifts a few days ago. No games can been kept in inventory.

You also can not gift a game if the regional price is more than 10%.

Steam can eat shit.

I see no reason to use GOG

Steam is where I have a library of almost 500 games.

>no one gives a shit about the fact that GOG killed the entire abandonware scene and started making money from dead games made by dead developers

GoG is full JEW MODE

The only reason GOG doesn't work as a DRM platform is due to its vast majority of games being abandonware: the companies behind those games are long defunct so there is no pressure to recoup the investment.
And that's why developers and publishers avoid them like the plague.

>>376310069
difference here is that you don't have to install the application, nor do you have to be online to play the games you bought.

dumb cuck.

I hate Steam because;

GOG, I don't really know. I bought a couple games from them, but that was like a year or two ago. Ended up deleting GOG and copying the game over to a different file and the games still work. So from that perspective, GOG is great.

>>376308909
They used to sell mostly abandonware but they seem to be moving more and more to the indie market ,plus they have great deals from time to time, i bought the witcher series for like 5 bucks

>>376308187
GoG for old games
Steam for indie and AAA

>>376309668
True. You go GoG if you want old classics, and Steam if you want new releases.

>>376309874
And you don't own your GOG games either.
If CDProjeck says "GOG is no more", you're going to lose all of your games unless you already have all of them downloaded and stored somewhere.

>>376311510
>Don't you still have to use Steam
Not necessarily. It might be Steam, it might be GoG or some other paltform like Uplay. The true patrician only cares about the price, not the distribution platforms. He is above bickering about which is better: Steam or GoG.

>>376311872
true patricians care about things like having the ability to back up their games, horde them, distribute them, etc.

>>376311872
why would a patrician care about money

>>376311589
>Who are you appeasing by buying from G2A?
The devs. The difference between me and a piratecuck is that I'm actually supporting the industry, but at fair prices.

>b-but buying games from G2A does not give any money to the devs
The devs already got the money when someone bought a key from them to sell on G2A. By buying on G2A you create demand for people to buy more spare keys from devs so that they can resell them.

>>376311884
>if you think G2A is doing something bad by providing people with a platform to trade on

>>376310303
literally all you get with buying anything from any service is the legality and service of downloading it, explain your reasoning for not valuing a paid "cracked" version of the game over a pirated version if ALL you care about is legally owning it (even though most games on gog are the exact same versions also on steam to start with). you get the legality what more do you want? your "logic" isn't present, you are just stigmatizing gog for bundling the game in a working package with mods that make the game better while praising steam for handing out broken fucking shit like the entire star wars series with literally no support whatsoever

>>376312083
not an argument. the important part of being a patrician is not the medium in which you receive a game, but that it is consistent in that you can, purchased or pirated, do virtually anything you want with the game short of selling it for money.

Skyrim is the worst piece of trash pile of code garbage that I have ever polluted my disk with. Every single second out of the 15 hours I have spent with this game naively trying to find one good thing in the entire game "because it's TES" was a complete and utter waste. This game should be banned under health protection laws, because God knows, it gave me cancer. Even Ubisoft hadn't make a game that bad ever, maybe except Watch Dogs 2, but I would have to consider it before I decide.

The only thing that matters is money and the price, everything else is completely irrelevant, as long as you stay within the boundaries of the law and not act like some nigger.

Both are good and Steam could use the competition.

GOG however has a shitty refund system. Even with their browser installed you have to write a damn email to get a refund. They'll also ask for dxdiags and other supporting evidence if it's a software issue.

Both are unobtrusive but Steam has overall better features like the workshop and community posts/guides.

Most of the people posting about Steam are mostly contrarians. Notice the first thing they bitch about is the multiplayer or any social interaction.
>muh muh lone wolf fedora

Can't be worse than EA Origins. Piece of shit actually made Red Alert 2 stutter and choppy. The pirated RA2 version ran better.

GOG for classics like Zeus Master of Olympus

Steam for everything else especially multiplayer and workshop mods.

>>376308187
GoG actually has tech support
On steam it is impossible to get the answer from any employee

>>376308187
gog has better packages. i like that they give you optional additional items like music files and manual and wallpapers and whatnot for free. i haven't gotten a package i couldn't run in windows 7 and i especially like that any operating system can download the games since it makes installing windows games in linux much easier comparatively to steam which platform locks. however their client is absolute shit, the features it says it has haven't ever worked for me (does the overlay even work for any game at all for anybody?) and only seems useful for the auto update feature. also their sales are considerably more expensive than steam sales

steam client i absolutely love, it is full of features and is well integrated with the steam controller i use very often just for controlling my desktop while watching cartoons or browsing the 'chon. i get really good download speeds, i like the integrated forums for each game and more. i especially like how i can add games not in steam and can then use features in steam like streaming and the screenshot function which is really cool, is the only way i found to take screenshots of games like vivisector. the actual linux support is much better than gog's, but again as mentioned you can't download windows games through the client without installing a second client for windows within linux in wine. i don't really care for achievements or the facebook like profiles page, and i never use the shitty web browser which fucks up everything. last but not least i really dislike the quality control, they let anything on there and clearly don't even test to see if it runs first before doing so.

in the end i will prefer gog over steam, but it has a smaller library of games (though what it does have isn't always available on steam either) and again is more expensive so it really comes down to that

>>376312971
