    For games, always buy from GOG if you can. Unless it’s a game I really want I only buy from GOG.

      if it’s not on GOG, you can also check itch.io!

      iirc all games there are DRM-free as well (tho I could be wrong)

      Many Steam games are actually DRM free. You can just copy the game folder onto a flash drive, sometimes modify a single file, and then run it from the flash drive in any PC.

      You should still buy from GOG first imo, but I wouldn’t entirely count out Steam.

        Well, it’s still a hack, not something officially supported, I wouldn’t really consider them DRM-free when you still need Steam to run the game officially.

        I’m not ruling out Steam either, they’ve done a lot of good for gaming and I buy games there if I really want them and there’s close to no chance they’re coming to GOG (like the recent Dragon Age), but more and more often I decide that I don’t actually want that game that much.

      …or Humble Bundle if they offer the actual software download.

      Not if they just offer Steam keys.

      In my opinion.
