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?

    I buy it on steam, because downloading the individual game installer files is annoying, and GOG Galaxy never worked right for me on windows.

    On Linux, however, Lutris has good GOG integration, so I can just log into my GOG account via Lutris and install literally every game I own (which I have like 100 on gog) without much issue now.

      Good to know (regarding Lutris and GOG). I’ve always stuck with Steam because of the ease of running games on Linux).

      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.
