Steam used to be my favorite place to buy games…
It was also my favorite place to read user reviews & opinions & see what other players were playing – until… …they redesigned the STORE page & my LIBRARY & turned it into a pre-school page for mobile users in China – or something – IDK what they were thinking, but the store is lame & the main library page is basically unusable now (I use the VIEW menu > SMALL MODE) and have started buying my video games anywhere else I can find them & they are usually cheaper too. I really didn’t mind paying a little more on Steam because it had a great interface & made my PC video gaming life easier. That is no longer the case…
So, here is a list of other websites where you can buy PC video games.
These are just the few that I am aware of – I’m sure there are many more – but this is just a list of sites I have actually used…
LET’S JUST GET THESE OUT OF THE WAY…
https://www.epicgames.com – you can’t really avoid it – some Epic games are exclusively available on this site, but they give away free games sometimes!
https://www.origin.com – basically the same as above, but I’ve never seen Origin offer free games.
https://store.ubi.com – Ubisoft / Uplay ^^^
SITES I’VE USED (mainly to buy “CD keys” for mainstream stores):
https://isthereanydeal.com – one of my favorite (butt ugly) PC video game websites! This is basically an aggregator website where you can see many sites & prices in one place – PLUS – you can see historical low prices & set up a wishlist & notifications. Highly recommended 😉
https://www.gog.com – “good old games” website that sells new games too! Their main claim to fame is offering DRM free games.
https://www.humblebundle.com – must see website – some bundles are “pay what you want” & you I’ve seen games here that I never saw anywhere else – not because they aren’t listed elsewhere, but because they bundle weird little games with the game you were looking for & you are often pleasantly surprised!
https://www.greenmangaming.com – great site – I really like the 2 tabs on the front page for BESTSELLERS & MOST WISHLISTED.
https://www.fanatical.com – really deep discounts on games that have been around a bit… I am pretty sure it is included @ isthereanydeal.com, but their main site makes it easy to spot deals vs using search @ isthereanydeal.com
https://www.cdkeys.com – the name says it all – the site is pretty “in your face” with giant tiles, but they sell cheap – cdkeys!
There are a LOT of other websites where you can buy PC video games, but this is a list of sites that I have used personally & I have never had any trouble with any of them, nor have I had any trouble redeeming any of the cdkeys or game codes within Steam, Uplay, Origin, Epic, etc.
So – now that you know where to buy affordable PC video games & classic PC games, go shopping & find me on twitch, youtube or discord to discuss them!
