Whats the best online store to but games from steam, origin, uplay, gog, or buy CD's

it's really confusing as thier is no website which have all games, so what do you think, buy EA games from origin and ubisoft from uplay and all other games from steam, or just buy CD's and save money with deals.

Really, I only buy from Origin and Steam. Has always worked for me (I only buy in the sales though)

G2A seems cool, but have never bothered with it, so can't give a whole lot input on that.

 

On G2A you can get Shield or something for 1 USD extra, so that when the key does not work, you can get a new one from them.

Seems smart to do.

Use Steam the most, Origin as well, and don't use Uplay unless absolutely necessary. CDs are dying, and most of them just install and make you register with one of the programs anyway.

Buy from all sorts of places.  A great way to get cheap Steam keys is from Humble Bundle.  Also check Green Man Gaming, GamersGate, Amazon (US), Indie Gala, etc.  Some people will say to buy from G2A but they are shady.  Also note the Steam Summer Sale is coming up on June 11th so check to see if they have any good deals. Oh and about Origin at times they have been giving games away for free and severely discounting them so check them out every so often.  A good place to keep up on gaming deals is on Red Flag Deals as they have a section just for gaming related deals.  Also Dealzon is good for finding out stuff. I also should mention that Indie Gala has a free game every week it seems which you can add to your account by just signing up again and again for the newsletter.  Many free games out there give Steam cards so hey if you get enough cards from all these games you can make some Steam cash and buy what you really want.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Steam by far has the most diverse selection (however thanks to Greenlight you need to tread a little carefully at times)

 

Highly recommend you sign up to Humble Bundle, If you see a game you like you can buy it and at least 5 others for just $1 (if you so desire)

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 > 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

"The Orange Box" || CPU: i5 4690k || RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 16GB || Case: Aerocool DS200 (Orange) || Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate || Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB + WD Black 1TB || PSU: Corsair RM750 || Mobo: ASUS Z97-A || GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+

It really depends, most people tend to buy from steam, especially during the crazy ass sales (I have around 500 games from there)

 

GOG is great for old games, or if you want to be DRM Free

Origin - some games can ONLY be bought from here like Battlefield etc

UPlay - most Ubisoft games must use UPLAY (but you can buy them on steam/elsewhere usually)

Others - maybe like G2A , Amazon, or other ditital stores - can be great for good deals - however 90% of the time they give you a steam code

 

most DVD games give you a steam code - and collecting hundreds of boxes takes up lots of storage in your house

steam is the go to place for games, but i have found that you can save quite a bit by checking origin and the humble store before you pull the trigger in steam

In your case then steam is your best bet at getting what you want

Sorry but the best way to get deals is to not shop at just one place.

But, isn't there a way to get deals and not have a lot of game providers, like steam summer deal or indiegala -as you mentioned- , like are these kind of deals ENOUGH?

steam is best, but some company like EA only allow their newer games to be sold on their online store(origin)

GOG has the advantage of no DRM whatsoever, Steam is the least annoying of the DRMs though.

I'm telling the truth! I AM a 12 year old girl!
