What is your preferred place to purchase games?
Hi everyone. I was thinking about where most people purchase PC games. It’s obvious that for consoles they mainly shop at original stores such as PlayStation or Xbox. While you can buy PC versions there, I haven’t encountered anyone doing so. A lot of my friends get games from Steam, some from Difmark or other sites. In short, there are plenty of choices. I’m interested in learning which services people favor, which they trust more, or if it’s just about the price. (That’s all that really matters to me). By the way, I wonder if all game prices will increase across platforms due to inflation. What are your thoughts? I believe the gaming crisis is beginning.
A brief note for the experienced:

My top choice has always been Steam. Usually, if Steam supports it, they maintain compatibility and performance, even with older games. The pricing and availability haven't been ideal, especially with other services now available. Regarding older titles, I prefer Gog. Their latest launcher includes many others (though it uses more RAM) and could be useful for players who frequently switch between platforms.
