Exotaur<p>i almost always buy my PC games on GOG, but i wish they had better bundle options. on Steam, you can easily buy a game and all of its DLCs with one click. on GOG, this is seldom an option and often poorly implemented, like only including some of the available DLCs. (GOG Summer Sale still going on, BTW) <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GOG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GOG</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Games</span></a></p>
