I’m gonna guess you’re German? I believe I heard that German banks are gradually moving towards the international standard where debit/bank cards are indistinguishable from credit cards and so they’ll be supported by online platforms.
That’s a really wild guess lol, no, I’m Israeli.
It’s most likely because I don’t use a normal credit card but something else that is anonymous and lower risk.
Haha the guess was just because I’ve seen users complain about how a website “doesn’t accept my bank card” many times before, and it’s almost always been German people. Over there, I believe, the most standard average person gets a card that isn’t compatible with most online payment systems.
But yeah especially with a government as sketchy as that I can see why you’d want to use something with a bit more privacy.
That might be a reason. Most games in my region (Brazil) are similarly priced between the 2 platforms, with special email offers on GoG often being better than any Steam price.
Agreed, I’d rather use GOG but they don’t accept my card :/

I’d rather use gog but the prices are extremely high (like up to 6 times higher than on steam)
Is that bc of like regional pricing or? At least for me the prices are around the same
maybe…?
(i’m from ukraine if that matters)

I too would like to try it only if they have regional pricing and good Linux support. Maybe 1 day, hopefully within this decade.
Heroic works fine for gog
