Steam or GOG always.

^ so much this.

I also hate useing all those stores, and keeping track of accounts & passwords.
These 2 are the ones I swear by, anything else is a no buy.

Not on steam or GoG = dont buy.

I actually only buy on GOG, though it's not the only store I have:

Steam: mostly for gifts, Kickstarter, and gamecodes from german PC magazines. I haven't bought a single game there for myself but have almost 100 games int he service.

Origin: Git in due to a magazine code for Might and Magic X: Legacy. I have now a dozen games there, the others all being freebies from Ubisoft.

itch.io: got some games and demos/betas gifted there, but that's about it

I also have some historical platforms that I don't use anymore for reasons noted below:

Impulse: Formerly Stardock Impulse, now part of Gamestop. Was my primary shop until that moment with about 50 games. Since I forgot about all the passwords (including to my former temporal e-mail adress, where the retrieval code is sent to), I don't know how to transfer to another system and just keep them on my old PC (which is sadly dying)

Desura: Defunct platform specialized into Indies and Mods, thankfully only had 3 games there (2 through Kickstarter and one gift)

GamersGate: Formerly part of Paradox Interactive and allowed direct downloads just like GOG, but I'm not really using it anymore.
