By comparison I don't feel as predated as in other shops. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) gog is more consumer friendly but steam is pretty good too compared to the alternatives. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bobzer@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* (1 child) GOG doesn't do regional pricing and only supports a handful of currencies. So Steam is much more consumer friendly for any of us living in countries with "weak" currencies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 year ago well, til! :( permalink fedilink source parent [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) The fact that you can add any game to Steam is pretty consumer-friendly, I think. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Doesn't even need to be a game permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (1 child) True, "add any software."

I consider those games as well, since you're not going to install one without any games included. It's also possible to make a shortcut so a single game boots up in an emulator. permalink fedilink source parent [–] piefood@feddit.online 4 points 1 year ago permalink fedilink source parent
