I haven't purchased anything in months because my job pays badly, and fuck this capitalist hellscape, but if I was going to buy more games steam is the most likely source. Linux support, cloud saves, game recording, remote play, fairly unobtrusive client, drm at the seller's discretion.

    Plus with rare exceptions you will always be able to continue to play all of those games on any hardware you can install steam at no additional cost.

    That worked for me fine on Linux (pop!_os). Remake worked on the steam deck, too.

    Which GPU? Anything above I think a 10xx has an issue with the shaders the game uses. There's supposedly a workaround for arch (CachyOS) but I couldn't get it working.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Got it before I got laid off and before prices went super crazy.

    I'm only playing on a 1k 1080p monitor so i wasn't pushing it very hard, but it ran without issue.

    I bought 2 things today, totalling £3.47, and one was a 6 dlc pack for a game I've got 1000ish hours in. Honestly should have just saved the £2 on the dlc pack, it's just a bunch of furniture.

    Gog is right there but let's just encourage more monopolization and centralization in our economy because Gabe good

    Steam fans are such weirdo cultists. It takes basically no effort to use heroic launcher to play games on Linux, gog's refund policy is infinitely better than Steam's (30 days with no playtime limit), there's zero DRM and you can install games without any client at all.

    Does gog do cloud saves, game recording, remote play? You could probably do recording by launching the game via the steam client, I guess.

    I don't think you're going to convince people by ignoring their actual reasons, and writing them off as cultists.
