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. 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.

    Steam. Valve pumps money into Linux gaming, and it shows by games running really well with almost no effort on my part. I’ve also had issues running controllers on GOG through Heroic (maybe fixed?), whereas it’s flawless and incredibly configurable on Steam.

    If GOG starts to give Linux actual attention, I’ll prefer them for their DRM-free stance. But my gaming experience is just so much better on Steam that I don’t bother with GOG most of the time.
