    I used to support them but when they opened the floodgates to trash games I didn’t get much reason to stick around. I miss and crave curation over volume. If both stores have heaps of garbage and steam has far better Linux support with valve actively contributing to and improving the Linux ecosystem… I’m going steam most of the time now.

    Sad as in theory I would support gog more but it seems like they’ve discarded what made them special.

      Could you expand on that pls?

      Im wondering how does the excess amount of games offered by a store affect your experience. How would you even notice that?

      And - that they were a more closed store was what made them special?

      Then I think of GOG I think about licencing, how I actually own a game purchased, how I have a key for it, how I’ll still own that game even of GOG stops existing. Thats not true for any of the other stores (outside of physical copies if some sell them, idk).

        I notice it because the signal drowns out the noise. It’s so hard to browse or find interesting new games made by passionate devs because so much low-effort barely-games and hentai visual novels flood it all out.

        I’m all for adult sex games but jfc it’s just sad how awful and unending their presence is.
