3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it? (lemmy.ml)

I've had this question looking at the Quake con sale, and Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth is for sale on both platforms. I ended up buying it on GOG. What is your opinion?

It's a lot of extra steps, though, and for me I've got two separate Linux systems I'm generally running things on.

I don't disagree with the logic, I just wish GOG had a Linux client. It's not just about Steam Deck (even though that's driven a lot of recent Proton development) -- there are serious issues with continued reliance on Microsoft, and FOSS solutions offer gamers a way to maintain a freedom they are otherwise likely to lose. It seems like GOG would want to support that effort.
