    Yes, and I buy usually first on steam, second on gog. I buy on gog to own it. I buy on steam because its fucking easy to play on Linux with.

    Valve does good work and they’ve never personally fucked me over. Until they do, I will continue to buy their shit and they are a company that supports Linux gaming and makes things easily repairable and provides docs to iFixIt

      Do you own any of the games you bought on steam?

      This mindset, while popularly-held, is precisely the reason Valve has such a monopolistic status in the first place.

        Yes, but i‘m not willing to give my money to worse companies. Valve may not be perfect, but as someone who only uses linux, its the only company that offers and improves compatibility with my systems.

        I dont care if a store gets a bigger cut, as long as the bigger cut improves customer service and dont pocket it only for themeselve like ea, ubisoft and epic.
