I have accounts on Steam and GOG.  They are the only two places from which I regularly buy games. (I also buy Humble Bundles but not regularly.)  I really do not want to buy from too many different places and spread my games all over the Internet.  It is a headache to maintain game libraries at too many different places, (i.e., I have made the mistake of re-buying from Steam a game that I already owned at GOG, and vice versa.)  And most other online stores do not appeal to me anyway.

So I have recently started using Enhanced Steam, which has a built-in feature to show and compare prices at different game stores when I am browsing on Steam.  I notice that GamersGate seems to consistently have the lowest prices for most games.  Then I read that GamersGate actually carries more titles than Steam: GamersGate has about 5,000 games and Steam has about 3,000.  (My biggest problem with GOG is its small selection  of games; GOG simply does not have most of the games I want.)  Moreover, GamersGate does not require a front-end client to install or run games. (My biggest issue with Steam is its games are useless without the client.)

So now I am interested in buying from GamersGate.  I am wondering what other people's experiences have been with GamersGate, compared to Steam or GOG.  Thanks.

I've bought a few games from GamersGate but they were all Steam-activated games.

 

I can barely keep track of all my games on Steam, Origin, Uplay and GoG. I don't really need any more digital distribution clients.
