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 mostly buy on steam to have my library in one place (without manually adding games) and the free cloud backup. And the Linux support.

      GoG galaxy has a built in Steam plugin that updates your library automatically.

          Yes. Just go to your library and browse the options. It’s been ages since I did it, but it’s just inside the client. No downloads needed. Also works for other platforms. GoG galaxy is meant to be a universal launcher.
