Need help in deciding
- Thread starter DIRTBAG30
- Start date
They're not really the same thing. Steam is more of a digital platform+distribution, GMG and the likes are more like 3rd party distributors. Some games actually give a Steam code on GMG. I bought Typing Of The Dead: Overkill on GMG which required redeeming on Steam. (the only reason why I bought it through them)
I like having ALL of my PC games that I'll never play in one place. Steam does that, and does it best. Also see: Humble Bundle

STEAM is a Digital Distribution Platform. It works on Linux, Mac and Windows. To play the games that STEAM offers - you must install and use STEAM.
GMG has a Digital Distribution Platform known as Capsule. It only works on Windows. Some of their games require you to use Capsule while others don't. Some of their games must be redeemed on STEAM.
STEAM has F2P and Freeware games. They also give out free retail PC games to keep from time to time.
GMG gives out free retail PC games to keep quite often. They average 6 to 8 a year since 2010.
GMG allows you to sell back some of your games for store credit towards your next GMG purchase. This includes some of the games you may have gotten for free.
