I think the Origin is the best client. It looks good, works well with no bugs as far as i know. The settings all work nicely and no trouble like on Steam. It also has prices in SEK which is really good, makes games cheaper than on Steam. Also really good and cheap offers.

GOG 2.0, One Client to Rule it all!

Really want to say GOG Galaxy 2.0, it is the best concept of all... but it's not quite ready yet. If they just manage to fix a few critical problems, it would easily take the crown though.

GoG Galaxy 2 is really good, but since GoG doesn't support TL i am gonna give my vote to Steam

your currency aint stable enough (many people abuse it in MMORPGS to buy currency cheap :P)

Yeah, you are right... Especially lately it is not stable at all.

But i think it is still manageable? Almost every game on steam ½50 cheaper than dollar, maybe they can fix it with "½" instead of certain number. Lets say every game will be ½40 cheaper for TL users. (I mean cheaper than dollar, it is still not cheap for us :D). At least this way we won't have to sell our houses for an AAA game.

On GoG? Nope. (Yes for Steam and EGS, no for everything else)

Imagine that buying every game one by one on steam cheaper than humble monthly... lol ;(

Steam because of the variety and ease of access. My biggest gripe with Origin is that if you update one of their games, it will overwrite any mods you may have installed (detrimental to my Mass Effect games! D:< ). Also, they seem to want to update the damn thing every single day and will force you into offline mode if you don't comply. Steam doesn't have that problem.

Steam also forces you to update. They had the ability to deny updates, but removed it years ago.

Most of the time you don't even have a choice which client to use, so I don't quite see the point in this question.

I'm very surprised to see you say you not only like Origin but find it to be the best client. I don't think I've ever seen someone praise it before.

For me it's by far the worst client I had the misfortune to use. The design isn't very good, it's laggy sometimes, can be unresponsive and crash, there are numerous issues with the friend list (people not getting friend requests after you send them for example), every now and then it asks me where I'm from even though I always pick the same option, QTWebEngineProcess sometimes starts using ridiculous amount of memory (I assume it's memory leak).

I have to use it to play Apex Legends and I hate it soooo much.

Anyway, as for your question I prefer Steam as my main client.

Steam is not the best in my opinion. It has too many bugs/crashes. But i use Steam a lot anyway. I have used most of these launchers for a long time and i can say that Origin is the one i had the least problems with/liked best.

Literraly no crash, whast so ever and I use a lot of it's features:

Family share, Nvidia now, steam controller, steam link, videos, pictures, overly over overlay,big picture and many add-ones, adding HDD games!

Origin lacks features and is very restrictive at many things, how it downloads the games, the fact that mow wanted 2012 still doesn't work and finally it is EA own launcher: V.

Steam, due to the community aspect of the platform. GOG is a close second because they are simply awesome in many ways - It's too bad Steam has the monopoly on the market, as if it weren't for them, I feel GOG would do very well.

To those of you who voted Epic: Are you just saying that because of their free games?

That's technically not a client feature, but whatever.

Hope you do okay without a shopping cart and the conveniences of Steam & other stores, and I sincerely hope you don't lose those free games or get locked out of your account.

Indeed, anyone who said Epic is either trolling (and has never actually used the client) or has incredibly low standards.

I am trying GOG Galaxy 2.0, and I really like it so far. Since it kind of includes all the others, it gets my vote.

One thing that some people seem to overlook about Steam (or, well, maybe it only matters to a few people like me) -- their solution for Controller support is great! Being able to play games with my Logitech controller, or my Dualshocks, is absolutely fantastic, and it is a Steam feature!

If I'm not mistaken you're able to filter and sort by genres and stuff like that? I'm curious what all it can filter and how well with more than 1.5k games on Steam alone

You can add tags to games like in Steam. Besides that you can filter by original client. This is how it could look:

I have not had any problems with any of the clients( except I haven't used bethesda) Steam has been great , I've only just started using Galaxy 2.0 but it looks good so far, the listed future features would be amazing. Uplay is fine, about the same as Origin.

I'd like to vote Epic for the absolute worst launcher in existence. Somehow just having it running causes it to use my video card a bunch and it causes heating to about 60 centigrade. I don't mean playing games, I mean just having Epic open.

I've never seen any kind of issue like that with any other launcher. I have a decent video card and don't have any issues with overheating while playing games. But Epic causes enough heating just being open by itself that I would never want to try to play a game with it open.

Fortunately I've found out how to play Epic's version of Axiom Verge without Epic having to be open at all. I hope the same can be done with other things like Subnautica too. Otherwise I'll never end up playing them even getting them for free.

When your launcher is so screwed up that it can make even good things being given for free not worth it, you've really messed up.

I don't have that problem at all and I play on an old PC with just a GTX 750Ti video card. You might want to check your potato and see if it has the current drivers installed.

I have a GTX 980M and drivers are up to date unless they changed from a week ago. I don't have issues running games. It's just that the Epic client literally causes more heat up just by being open than playing most games does.

So the heat up from having Epic running plus playing a game at the same time would generate heat like running at least two games at once. I don't know why the Epic client being open would do this when no other client causes heat up at all.

Are you 100% sure its from the client? I had a lot of heating problems on laptops before with just running the computer.

Normal running temp on the laptop is 30-35 C. Whenever I start Epic (not running any games), the temp starts climbing up until it gets to 55-60 C. When I close Epic the temp starts going back down again until it gets to the normal temp of 30-35 C.

Happens that way every single time. So I'm 100% certain it is happening because of running the Epic client.

I do not miss the days of having to have a disc in your drive to play a game though...
As much as a like physical ownership, there is definitely an advantage to digital distribution.

You can have a digital version without a client though. For instance, GOG games without the Galaxy client or Humble Bundle games that can be directly downloaded as opposed to activated on Steam.
