I wait until big games like the Witcher series hit GoG.com. That means I miss out on a ton of AAA games, but I'm not a hardcore gamer so it's no big deal. Most of my time gaming right now is split between catching up on late 2000s titles like the Crysis and Saint's Row series, and on open world games like Rust.

I love GoG! But as seer said, The Witcher is a special case, since GoG is owned by the same people. Still some fantastic games there though, just not the latest-and-greatest.

(I also have a lot of Humble Bundle games)

The witcher is an exception though, as CDProject red are the creaters of both gog and the series, thus it was available from day 1 :)
Wow, I wasn't aware of that.

What cemented GoG for me was two events: One, they got the entire classic Thief series (my all time favorite game series which won't install on modern Windows from my game discs) and two, when a few games on Steam that I thought I owned were pulled or otherwise tampered with; something I paid for was suddenly gone or altered with no recourse. I still have my Steam account and I do play games on it, but going forward all of my game budget goes to GoG and thrift store finds.
