Hey, so for some time now i had this problem... I have been buying games from both gog and steam... No drm option is good on gog but there are some festures missing from what steam has, for example being able to buy games from trading cards... What should i do? Focuse on buying games from gog and if there isnt a game then buy it on steam? Or maybe just buy games on steam?

Not always true unfortunately. iirc saints row 2 was capped at 30fps on gog but not steam, and FEAR still installed the DRM software but was just patched to not use it. Don't know of any other cases like those tho

F.E.A.R. was eventually fixed. I'm pretty sure only the multiplayer.exe. still has DRM. I played it recently including the expansion and it was just fine.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
