Shit I really like GOG as it's the only competition to steam

There's also itch.io, which is great. It does have a lack of game selection, but we're comparing it to GOG, so...

Yeah itch lacks the bigger titles GOG has been able to pull.

At the same time, GOG hasn't been able to pull many, and Itch has much better indie coverage, including for the higher-end indies, due to its much smaller royalty fee. I'd say they're pretty even overall, with Itch catering to Indies and GOG to old games.

GOG has been closer to offering the more mainstream indies and big studio titles that interest me. I guess itch library doesn't really appeal as often to my tastes.
