Steam, for sure. But GOG is right up there with them, especially with their latest move on mod integration. 

Epic tried to buy their way into the market with give-away tactics, instead of actually developing their services. And it shows. Heck; the EA App is almost a better pick.

Love GOG especially on bringing in classics that otherwise wouldnt come out normally across the consoles+Steam. 

Like Breath of Fire IV, speaking of which...I gotta go buy that lol.

The overwhelming majority of my games are on Steam, though GOG would be my preference all else being equal.

However, I did buy a game on the Epic store that turned out to be one of my recent favorites. I wanted to support competition. Unfortunately, I ended up absolutely losing my mind with rage because I had so much trouble trying to play it when I was having an issue with my internet flickering on and off. I had ZERO problems with Steam during that period but the Epic client was beyond frustrating and I ended up telling their support that I wouldn't play another game on their service even if it was free.

I tried out the app back in 2023 and it was unbearable. There were so many weird things happening that no other app on my computer was experiencing, some of the icons wouldnt fully load and when I downloaded a game (Fall Guys), it just kept getting interrupted , turning on and off multiple times. Scrolling through the UI was laggy as well, never had this issue , even with Ubisoft or EA's apps.

I havent tried GOG Galaxy, hopefully wont be a headache when I try it in the future lol
