On the one hand I like GOG because it has no DRM and has better prices (in my country) than Steam and I have the feeling that on the one hand it follows more the open source philosophy than Steam itself, but Steam has helped enormously to play Windows games on Linux, so I haven’t really made up my mind.

On the one hand I want to buy on Steam for the convenience, but on the other hand I prefer GOG because (in my country) is cheaper. Which platform do you prefer and why?

To give an example, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is currently $15 on Steam with regional pricing, but on GOG it’s worth just $6.

    I prefer GoG and will generally purchase from there as no drm and you end up owning your game.

    However their client is a bit shit and has been for a long time (GoG galaxy). You really only need it for updates though.

    Steam excels for games with lots of mods/workshop. It just works.
