Why can we buy games cheaper on other services then?
Steam works and the prices are good and I don't see them buying exclusives. That's good enough for me nothing is perfect.
GOG is good if the game you want is on there. I got the ultimate edition of Fallout New Vegas for like £5. It was like £10-15 on Steam at the time. Great deal. The main issue is they're strictly anti-DRM for offline games so the bigger developers are less inclined to put their games on there, but whatever.
yeah, exclusives are the big one for me. I choose to game on PC because it's less bullshit. exclusives decidedly fall into the bullshit category and the EGS is full of them
