Because games exist on Steam that do not exist here. Just like I buy games on GoG that do not exist on Steam.

I don't see what the big deal is either. Choice is good.

It is, the one time I don't have money. xD

Not that I really buy from Humble anymore. Kinda went fuck them after they abandoned their no drm principles.

I used to be on the fence about whether I should buy a new game in a series for the PC, or for the Xbox 360. For example, Assassin's Creed games (1 through 3) were always cheaper for the PC, but... I had originally bought the first one for the 360, thus I needed to buy the rest for that, too. This is also because I'm kind of a completionist: I needed to see the Desmond side story through, and on the same platform above all. After it was ended in AC3, I haven't bought, and will not buy, any of the newer games in the main series for either platform anymore :P

Fallout series is a little bit more complex. I have 1, 2 and Tactics here, 3 and New Vegas for 360, and I've pre-ordered 4 for Steam, so I guess this is finally a milestone where I can stop caring about which platform to buy games for. Maybe :P After all, if and I do mean IF, they ever decide to do Condemned 3, it's not like they would probably release that for 360, so that's another series that would get hacked to pieces platform-wise.

lucky bastard!

I generally just keep to Steam on don't like buying things on gog when I already have it on Steam. The Lego games are good example.

Though that rule breaks down for a lot of stuff. The older it is or the more public facing the developer/soul the game has the more I want it here. The Lego games aren't exactly the most decorous of videogames, so wanting them here matters less to me.

I don't mind that my collection is split, I have GoG Galaxy, Steam, Origin, UPlay, Google Play, Amazon and Humble Bundle. I think for me I follow my wallet, I see it going for a great price and grab it. Then later I wish I had spent a little more and made sure the distributor was GoG, a bloody decent distributor. But as I mentioned earlier, GreenManGaming coupons get me often enough.

Plus games like Shadowrun seem more suited in GoG line up rather than Steams. I have Alan Wake on GoG.com and American Nightmare on Steam... Noooo.

Not a biggy really, my post wasn't to be too serious, just want things better organised and GoG to have the lions share of the money.

I have games on Steam, Desura, Uplay, Origin, GOG, Gamersgate, google play, Mangagamer and god knows where else. I see no problem having the games on different accounts, since they're yours to play where-ever they are.

It is nice to have all your games in one place but I recommend you start buying GOGs. The reason I recommend this is the fact that you can easily backup your GOGs on an external harddrive and play them rain or shine. You will be able to play them 10 years from now or 20 years from now or 30 years from now. Sure, you could backup most of your Steam games but the process is a lot more difficult and you will need to know to how for each game. A lot of Steam games also come with additional DRM. Something that could possibly screw you over down the road. Every time you buy GOGs, you also support the DRM free movement by letting publishers know, there is a demand for DRM free games. I'm not saying, Steam is evil and you should avoid it though. And avoiding Steam is impossible if you are into mulitplayer games like Counter Strike Global Offensive.

I've got some games on Steam for 10 years, play them just fine today. Not everyone (in fact most everyone) don't really care about what's going to happen 30 years from now, they want to know if they can play the game today.

Which one is DRM free?

There, now do it.

You should only buy games on Steam because you like all your games in one place and no Steam no sale.

I'll often buy on both... mainly for the reason that as much as I prefer DRM free (and sad as it is to say I lean more towards Humble store due to DRM free a d Steam key inclusion), the Steam version is more likely to be kept up to date with patches / content that the GOG version doesn't get or lags extremely behind in (case in point that springs to mind immediately is Hand of Fate)

Here's my rule:

- Buy cheapest unless:
1) It's something I'll want to go back to over many years
2) I want to play it remotely, away from the Internet

In those cases, it's GOG. If it's not on GOG or Steam, I'll probably not buy it. I have bought GreenManGaming GamersGate and I've bought bundles with Desura, but I try not to do that anymore.

(note: I forgot about Amazon, UPlay and Origin. I sometimes will get something on them.)

I think mostly it disturbs peoples' sense of 'order.'

The only practical issue I can see is that occasionally sales (particularly on GOG) looks at existing ownership, like the Witcher 3 discount for owning 1&2, or the GOG bundle deals.

But then, you probably own them in split places because of prior sales, so...
