With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose the GOG version because I don’t have to deal with pre-shader work being downloaded every so often and support DRM free gaming, owning my games. Take the game files anywhere I go. I can just into my games. Yet, Steam achievements and seeing the game’s metadata is always life: seeing the game info, store page, community stuff about the game, and more all there. So what do you chose? GOG game or the Steam game.

    Tough one. I care a lot about game preservation, so I naturally tend to gravitate towards GOG, however I’ve had trouble getting a few too many games running, while the Steam versions “just work” (with the same version of Proton, etc).
    I really tend to make sure that I’m not going to have any issues with the GOG version before buying it nowadays, otherwise I’ll get the Steam version.
