Where do you buy PC games?

[x7q3]

I know that many people use Steam now days, but I occasionally buy PC games from Amazon and Wal-Mart as well.

It's pretty fun going to Wal-Mart and browsing the PC games section. There's a lot of hidden object mystery games there, games that you might never have discovered otherwise. Amazon sells PC games, new and used.

That's how I buy PC games. I use Steam, Amazon or Wal-Mart. Steam is very convenient, but as antiquated as it may sound, I honestly still prefer to own a physical disc. Wal-Mart really doesn't have many PC games anymore, it's a limited selection. I suppose this is because most PC games are bought and sold online now days.

Where do you buy PC games?

Steam, Origin and UPLAY mainly. Then I get free ones when they pop up on GOG, Humble Bundle and others.

Same, but I rarely buy directly from Steam, Origin, or UPLAY. I usually browse the game key websites (CDKeys, Green Man Gaming, WinGameStore, etc.) for deals. Some of the prices seem too good to be true, but I've never had a bad experience and I've saved tons of money.

Mostly GoG these days for all the classics, Steam for the occasional new game, and Origin when series go on sale. I can't remember ever buying anything off of Uplay. I might start looking into Epic's new store soon, and haven't gotten anything off of Humble after they got greedy and tried to become a major storefront rather than a "humble" supporter of indies/charity.

I used to buy everything on Steam but I hate the new (current) UI.

usually its steam or humble bundle for my digital game needs, but sometimes you want a specific physical title or an older title. for those times i've used amazon, newegg, ebay. even local thrift stores carry an occasional old game. flea markets and yard sales too.

but the days of game stop, best buy, and staples having any real amount of physical pc games in stock are mostly gone.

Mainly Steam and GOG these days. If the option exists, I choose GOG over Steam.

[Bigdog]

95% now on steam, the prices are just unbeatable if you wait for their sales.

[Partz711]

Mostly on Steam. Sometimes Walmart or Newegg.

[Crashyou]

I buy in steam too!

Almost all of my games are given to me as gifts as my friends want me to play with them. I've got a good thing going here.

I used to buy pc games from origin or steam but lately I tried to play virtual reality games. It's something more specific but it's also much more interesting to play as for ( but costs more then usual pc games)

on steam for PC, console ps4 and xbox at the mall. is there a free download in this site?

[scilover]

I always buy on steam, it's just much more easier for me. But I only buy games during huge sales every year, thank you gaben hahaha.

Steam for the most part. But, the Epic Games Store has some killer sales quite frequently. Additionally, Epic gives out big AAA for free very often. Recent examples are GTA5, Borderlands handsome collection, Ark etc etc

Mostly I buy games on Steam. Sometimes I go to the Epic Games Store during giveaways

[francisbaud]

I've purchased a couple games from Steam but not recently, and sometimes I've bought PC games from Walmart or EB Games. Other than that, F2P MMORPGs were usually downloaded directly from the official website.

I used to try and get them from retailers, either Buy More Best Buy or Game Stop, as I love the art work on the boxes. But that has gone the way of the Dodo so now I try to get everything on Steam. I'll even wait for AAA titles to make it on Steam as I hate using separate launchers. Plus Steam really is the best for either remote play or playing on different machines, which I do regularly between my rig and gaming laptop. I also just picked up a RTX 3070 laptop and so far I've only installed Steam.

Ironic though that when Steam first came around I tried to avoid them like the plague. Now they're the standard of what I think a gaming service and launcher should be.
