You know that feeling when you want to buy a game but it's steam only and you can't wait for it to (maybe) arrive on GOG ?

Yeah.

I'm not one of those anti Steam guys but whenever I can I prefer GOG. What would you do ?

I've been waiting for a bunch of games on Steam to finally show up on GOG. Years in most cases. Just wait a little longer. Patience is a virtue, not a guarantee.

It really depends.. I don't like using Steam, I find it very annoying, but I'm not 100% anti Steam.
But at the moment I've got so much stuff here that I haven't touched yet that buying games on a platform I don't like and don't want to support seems pointless.
If it's a game you absolutely want to play right this minute, then go for it and just buy it on Steam.
If not just keep playing what you've got and it might come here eventually.

In my opinion, if it isn't one of the tiny minority of games on Steam that have additional DRM, buy it there and enjoy the game.

If you wanna play it, buy it. But first, see if you can buy the game directly from the people who made it.

If I would not dislike Steam but just prefer gog I would try to get any information possible if a gog release is planned. If yes I'd wait the bit more it might eventually take to get it here. If no I'd check out if there is a reason for the lack of confidence in the game from the publishers to not release outside steam besides DRM. Then I'd get it on Steam.

But since I dislike Steam I have no problem to wait years and accept the possibility to never play certain games that otherwise would have been day one purchases.

If the discount is deep enough go for it, otherwise wait up.

I just hate the fact that if one day a meteor will strike Valve's HQ (or I won't have internet) my games will be gone.
But aside from this steam is good social platform and very user friendly IMO.

On topic, apperently the specific game I'm thinking about will remain Steam only: https://steamcommunity.com/app/249050/discussions/0/619574421245382584/

Weird thing is that there are games with DRM free versions that are sold only from the developers website (like the original Binding Of Isaac)

Now I'm a declared anti-Steam guy, and the last time I bought something there was in 2013's Halloween promo (so, nearly two years ago).
During the brief time I bought on almost every pltaform, before buying DRM'd games I asked myself this question: "do I want to play them NOW"?
If the answer was yes, I purchased them, if not, I waited -and I have been glad to, since a few times said games showed up here not too long after or with a better price and DRM-free elsewhere.
I knew I had plenty of games to play anyway, so skipping some more for the time being wasn't an issue for me. Digital copies are limitless, so there is no need to hurry! :)

Most of my games are on Steam, because I buy mostly bundles. From my perspective DRM-free adds only a little value, so it's a nice bonus but not worth obsessing about. I replied to that thread. That usually happens when the devs like the idea of DRM-free but GOG refuses to sell the game.

I'm reminded of buying 10 CDs directly from Bjorn Lynne. The logic being he'd get a better cut, and been a fan of his music for years.

I remember that everything on Steam is free through Steam Trading. Between that or spending actual money I usually go with that. :>

But it's GOG's fault the titles you want aren't here anyway so I don't know what you expect.

If you want it, specially if it's on sale, buy it.
I always prefer GOG or DRM Free, but when you can't, you can't.

The gift-giving season is just next month. Add them to your Steam wishlist and see if you get lucky?
