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?
Assuming the price is exactly the same on both platforms (or even within like $10 if I’m not getting a Steam key from the GOG purchase), I’m buying from Steam every time. Mainly for the convenience of having it in my Steam library, so I can’t just flat out forget that I own the game already when I finally get around to playing whatever it was, because god knows I don’t immediately play straight through the vast majority of games I buy.

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
