3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it? (lemmy.ml)

I've had this question looking at the Quake con sale, and Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth is for sale on both platforms. I ended up buying it on GOG. What is your opinion?

Honestly I'm so lazy and deep into the ecosystem now if if it's not on Steam I just won't play it. There's too many things to play, and I don't care enough to bother with multiple launchers and accounts

This is exactly why I buy from both. I don't want to be one of those people who is so invested in one platform that they can't afford not to spend their money there.
