If you can buy from GOG do it. Need to make sure viable competition sticks around plus they actually let you own the game
I really wanted GOG to be a viable competition, but their years and years of broken promises are not going to make me leave Steam.
...such as...? Whenever I'm shopping for a game, I check GOG (and 3rd party sites for steam keys via ITAD) before I buy from steam. If it's available on gog and drm-free, that's where my money goes.
The only issue I see with gog is that devs don't give a shit. One and done, one pump chump. Why give customers choice, when you can be jerking it with their money already instead?
GOG isn't really competing in the same market as Steam.
