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?

I use Steam. CDPR has burned me with several of their games and I refuse to give them money anymore.

CDPR as in CD Projekt Red? Are they associated with GOG in some way?

[-] CoconutKnight@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I think GoG is CDPR's client

[-] Ductos@mastodon.social 2 points 1 year ago

@CoconutKnight @CloverSi Yes, it is. A separate division, but still the same company.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. CDPR owns GOG

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.
