Only place I buy games from anymore
no because the last time I used netflix was five years ago. I never even thought to pay for any of the other ones
the chapo chatters pulled me back in
and lawn equipment
Gog, drm free, just works, and devs get more money.
On the other hand, death to valve and steam. The launcher itself is dogshit bloatware and I do not have a single recent memory of it being remotely pleasant to use. The download and verification speeds are absolutely awful compared to Gog and, in my limited experience, Epic. valve was definitely a pioneer in microtransactions with tf2 and csgo. Locking mods to their storefront is fucking disgusting, as was their attempt to monetize them. There is also negative quality control when it comes to what’s allowed to be sold on steam.
If it’s not on Gog then I’ll just pirate it.
Thankfully I haven’t encountered that in forever but I always get multi-part 5gb download thats capped to 1mb/s and takes 5 hours
downloading a repack made by some Russian somewhere in 15 parts from 5 different filesharing websites
Never had this problem with fitgirl but rinru users unfortunately end up using some awful rate limited site usually. It’s always a pleasant surprise when it’s a drive link tho
The latter option does leave you with the game in your Steam account though
This is why I use them. Someone hosted a zomboid server on here but it’s set to steam only, I don’t want to give any money to valve if possible and I’m definitely not buying the game a third time at full price so I just used a gift card and got it for ~$7.
Honestly if I end up in a similar situation I’ll probably just do it again
