Steam waxay u badan tahay inuu yahay goobta ugu caansan ee ciyaaraha PC-ga^{(well-known platform for PC games)} ee internetka, laakiin GOG (oo hore u ahaan jiray Ciyaaraha Wanaagsan^{(Good Old Games)} ) ayaa si degdeg ah u helaya caan sababtoo ah xulashada ciyaaraha caadiga ah. Taasi maaha sababta kaliya, in kastoo.

GOG sidoo kale waa u doodaha ugu horreeya ee ciyaaraha bilaashka ah ee DRM ee^(DRM-free) internetka. Si kale haddii loo dhigo, haddii aad ka soo iibsatid oo aad ka soo dejiso ciyaar GOG , adigaa iska leh inaad weligaa yeelato. Waxaad ku gubi kartaa saxan oo aad u hayn kartaa farcanka dambe. Labada gooboodba waa u qalantaa in la haysto, laakiin mid kastaa wuxuu ku fiican yahay meelo kala duwan. 

Iyadoo aan loo eegin^(Regardless) goobta aad doorato, waa wakhti aad u fiican inaad noqoto gamer PC.

GOG Vs. Steam: Maktabadda Ciyaaraha iyo Lahaanshaha^{(GOG Vs. Steam: Game Library and Ownership)}

Marka ay timaado tirada badan ee ciyaaraha la heli karo, Steam waa guusha cad. Iyada oo leh maktabad la soo sheegay oo ka badan ciyaaraha 10,000 (iyo in ka badan ayaa lagu daray maalin kasta iyadoo ay ugu wacan tahay Steam Greenlight ), madalku waa awood badan oo kala duwanaansho. Waxaad ka heli kartaa nooc kasta oo ciyaar ah oo aad ka fikiri karto, kuwaas oo qaar badan oo ka mid ah ay gaar u yihiin Steam^{(exclusive to Steam)} . 

Dhanka kale, GOG wuxuu leeyahay wax yar oo ka badan 2,500 ciyaarood. Farqiga aasaasiga ah ee u dhexeeya ciyaaraha Steam iyo ciyaaraha GOG waa in GOG uu gebi ahaanba xor yahay DRM. Haddii aad ka iibsatid ciyaarta goobta, adigaa iska leh inaad leedahay - muddada. Ciyaaraha Steam^(Steam) waxay sameeyaan jeeg si loo hubiyo inaad ku xidhan tahay Steam . Aragti ahaan, waa suurtogal in aad lumiso maktabadaada Steam haddii Steam waligaa^(Steam) meesha ka baxo. Inkasta oo aanay taasi dhici karin, haddana waa wax maskaxda lagu hayo.

Ilaa inta ciyaaraha la soo dejiyo, dhib malahan haddii GOG uu baaba'o. Weli waxaad awoodi doontaa inaad ciyaarto dhammaan koobabka. GOG waxay u janjeertaa inay diiradda saarto magacyo hore, magacyo qadiimi ah halkii ay ka ahaan lahayd siideynno cusub. Taasi waxay tidhi, qaar badan oo ka mid ah cinwaanada AAA ee ugu dambeeyay ayaa wali arkaya joogitaanka GOG . 

GOG ma laha joogitaanka indie ee Steam uu sameeyo, si kastaba ha ahaatee. Steam wuxuu leeyahay ciyaaro badan oo anime iyo bari-horumarin ah, halka GOG uu diiradda saarayo ugu horrayn ciyaaraha reer galbeedka, ARPGs , iyo in ka badan. 

GOG Vs Steam: Isticmaalaha^{(GOG Vs Steam: Userbase)}

Steam ayaa sheegay in ku dhow 120 milyan isticmaaleyaal firfircoon sanadka 2020. Tiradaas ayaa ka dhigan inta badan saldhigga ciyaaraha PC. Fursadaha ayaa ah, haddii aad leedahay PC gaming, waxaad leedahay Steam. GOG uma wadaagto xogtan sida furan sida Steam uu sameeyo, markaa way adagtahay in la tilmaamo inta isticmaale ee madal hadda haysato.

Taasi waxay tidhi, GOG waxay aragtay kobac 208% ka badan 2020, iyada oo 392% kobac ku yimid diiwaan gelinta isticmaaleyaasha cusub. Madalku wuu sii kordhayaa, xitaa haddii ay waddo dheer u leedahay inay la tartanto Steam . 

GOG Vs Steam: Ciyaarta isdhaafsiga iyo Ciyaartoyga badan^{(GOG Vs Steam: Crossplay and Multiplayer)}

Mid ka mid ah tixgalinta ugu muhiimsan ee gamer-ka PC-ga ayaa ah in ciyaartu tahay ciyaar-is-dhaafsi iyo in kale. Haddii aad rabto ciyaar bilaash ah oo DRM ah, waxaad ka iibsan kartaa GOG - laakiin haddii dhammaan asxaabtaadu ay ku iibsadaan ciyaarta Steam oo aysan ahayn ciyaar-is-dhaafsi, waxaad ciyaari doontaa kali. 

Nasiib darro, cinwaanno badan oo GOG ah maaha ciyaaraha isdhaafsiga. Taa baddalkeeda, waxay ku xiraan server-yada GOG Galaxy halkii ay ka ahaan lahaayeen server-yada Steam , in kasta oo ciyaaraha qaarkood ay ku xirmi karaan xiriirinta tooska ah ee IP. 

Adigoo tan maskaxda ku haya, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad u janjeerto dhanka madal ay saaxiibbadaa joogaan. In kasta oo GOG Galaxy uu kuu oggolaado inaad ku xidho akoonkaaga Steam , cinwaannadu inta badan maaha kuwo isdhaafsan. Haddii aad xiisaynayso ciyaaraha hal-ciyaaryahan, wax farqi ah ma samaynayso - laakiin haddii aad aad u xiisaynayso inaad la ciyaarto koobab ciyaartoy badan saaxiibbadaa, ciyaaraha ka iibso isla madal isku mid ah.

In kasta oo labada gooboodba ay leeyihiin liisaska saaxiibbada, adeegyada bulshada ee Steam^{(Steam’s social services)} ayaa aad uga wanaagsan hirgelinta GOG 's. Wali waxaa jira meelo badan oo lagu hagaajin karo GOG hore, laakiin waxay leedahay ballanqaad badan. 

GOG Vs Steam: Qiimaha^{(GOG Vs Steam: Pricing)}

Labada Steam iyo GOG waxay si joogto ah u bixiyaan qiimo dhimis heersare ah magacyo badan. Inta u dhaxaysa iibka xagaaga iyo jiilaalka Steam , iyo sidoo kale iibka fasaxyada kale, waxaad ka heli kartaa ciyaaro ugu hooseeya hal dollar. 

GOG waxay u janjeertaa inay bixiso iibka mawduucyada badan, oo bixisa qiimo dhimis RPG ama ururinta RTS , tusaale ahaan. GOG waxay bixisaa qiimo dhimis uruurinta ciyaaraha, gaar ahaan haddii aad horeba ugu lahayd magacyo ganacsi. Waa hab fiican oo lagu maal galiyo dhammaan ururinta taxanaha.

Steam iyo GOG sidoo kale waxay leeyihiin habab kala duwan oo lacag celin ah. Steam wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad ku weydiisato lacag celin laba toddobaad gudahood^{(refund within two weeks)} , ilaa inta aad haysato wax ka yar laba saacadood wadarta wakhtiga ciyaarta. GOG ma laha xaddidaad waqti-ciyaareed waxayna u ogolaataa isticmaalayaasha inay codsadaan lacag celin 30 maalmood gudahooda markay iibsadaan. 

GOG Vs. Steam: Platform iyo UI^{(GOG Vs. Steam: Platform and UI)}

Qalabka Steam iyo interface-ku inta badan sidii hore ayay ahaan jireen tan iyo markii ugu horreysay ee madal la bilaabay. Waxa jiray dhawr horumar oo garaafeed oo dulsaarku ku yimi, laakiin waxa ay u eegtahay mid la mid ah tan ay had iyo jeer leedahay. Steam kuma xidhna meelo kale oo badan, in kasta oo dhawr ciyaarood oo la xushay ay taageeri doonaan badbaadada u dhaxaysa Nintendo Switch iyo Steam . Waxa kale oo aad ka daadi kartaa ciyaaraha kombayutarkaga TV-gaaga dhexda kuxiran Steam Link^{(Steam Link)} .

GOG Galaxy waa madal cusub oo u oggolaanaysa isticmaaleyaasha inay ku xidhmaan Steam, Ciyaaraha Epic^{(Epic Games)} , Xbox , Shabakadda PlayStation^{(PlayStation Network)} , iyo in ka badan.

Tani waa hab gaar ah oo aad u wanaagsan oo lagu ururiyo dhammaan cinwaannadaada hal meel si loo baadho sahlan. 

Keebaa kuu roon?^{(Which Is Better for You?)}

Steam iyo GOG labaduba waxay leeyihiin meelaha ay ku wanaagsan yihiin iyo meelaha ay ku liitaan, laakiin midna aad ugama wanaagsana kan kale. Haddii aad rabto ciyaaraha caadiga ah ee leh lahaanshaha dhabta ah, GOG waa betka ugu fiican - laakiin haddii aad raadinayso meel sahlan oo loogu talagalay ciyaartoy badan oo khadka ah saaxiibbadaa, Steam waa inuu noqdaa goobta aad tagto. 

GOG vs Steam: What Are the Differences?

Steam is probably the most well-known platform for PC games on the internet, but GOG (formerly Good Old Games) is rapidly gaining popularity due to its selection of classic games. That’s not the only reason, though.

GOG is also the leading advocate of DRM-free games on the internet. In other words, if you buy and download a game from GOG, it’s yours to own forever. You can burn it to a disc and keep it for posterity. Both platforms are worth having, but each one excels in different areas. 

Regardless of which platform you choose, it’s a great time to be a PC gamer.

GOG Vs. Steam: Game Library and Ownership

When it comes to the sheer number of available games, Steam is the clear winner. With a reported library of over 10,000 games (and more added every day thanks to Steam Greenlight), the platform is a powerhouse of diversity. You can find every type of game you can think of, many of which are exclusive to Steam. 

On the other hand, GOG only has a little over 2,500 games. The primary difference between games on Steam and games on GOG is that GOG is entirely DRM-free. If you purchase a game on the platform, it’s yours to own — period. Steam games perform a check to ensure you’re connected to Steam. In theory, it’s possible to lose your Steam library if Steam ever vanishes. While that isn’t likely to happen, it’s something to keep in mind.

As long as the games are downloaded, it doesn’t matter if GOG disappears. You’ll still be able to play all of the titles. GOG tends to focus on older, classic titles rather than new releases. That said, many of the latest AAA titles still see a presence on GOG. 

GOG doesn’t have the indie presence that Steam does, however. Steam has many anime and eastern-developed games, while GOG focuses primarily on western games, ARPGs, and more. 

GOG Vs Steam: Userbase

Steam reported around 120 million active users in 2020. That number constitutes the majority of the entire PC gamer base. Chances are, if you have a gaming PC, you have Steam. GOG doesn’t share this sort of data as openly as Steam does, so it’s difficult to pinpoint how many users the platform currently has.

That said, GOG saw a 208% growth over 2020, with a 392% growth in new user registrations. The platform is growing, even if it has a long way to go to compete with Steam. 

GOG Vs Steam: Crossplay and Multiplayer

One of the most important considerations for a PC gamer is whether a game is a crossplay or not. If you want a DRM-free game, you might buy it on GOG — but if all your friends purchase the game on Steam and it isn’t crossplay, you’ll be playing solo. 

Unfortunately, many GOG titles are not crossplay games. Instead, they connect to the GOG Galaxy servers rather than the Steam servers, although some games can connect through direct IP connections. 

With this in mind, you’ll want to lean towards whichever platform your friends are on. Although GOG Galaxy allows you to connect your Steam account, the titles usually are not crossplay. If you are interested in single-player games, it doesn’t make much difference — but if you’re more interested in playing multiplayer titles with your friends, purchase the games on the same platform.

While both platforms have friends lists, Steam’s social services are far better implemented than GOG’s. There is still a lot of room for improvement on the GOG front, but it has a lot of promise. 

GOG Vs Steam: Pricing

Both Steam and GOG routinely offer steep discounts on multiple titles. Between Steam’s summer and winter sales, as well as a host of other holiday sales, you can find games for as low as a dollar. 

GOG tends to offer more themed sales, offering discounts for RPG or RTS collections, for example. GOG provides discounts on collections of games, especially if you already have titles in the franchise. It’s a great way to invest in the entire collection of a series.

Steam and GOG also have different approaches to refunds. Steam allows you to ask for a refund within two weeks, as long as you have less than two hours total of playtime. GOG has no playtime limits and allows users to request a refund within 30 days of purchase. 

GOG Vs. Steam: Platform and UI

The Steam platform and interface have mainly remained the same since the platform first launched. There have been a few graphical improvements to the overlay, but it looks relatively the same that it always has. Steam doesn’t connect to many other platforms, although a few select games will support cross-saves between Nintendo Switch and Steam. You can also stream games from your PC to your TV through the Steam Link peripheral.

GOG Galaxy is a new platform that allows users to connect their Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, PlayStation Network, and more. Any games compatible with GOG will appear on that list, allowing users to download and play them on their PC for a limited time. This is a particularly great way to group all your titles in one place for easier searches. 

Which Is Better for You?

Both Steam and GOG have their strengths and weaknesses, but neither is remarkably better than the other. If you want classic games with actual ownership, GOG is the best bet — but if you’re looking for an easy platform for online multiplayer with your friends, Steam should be your go-to platform.
