Most Popular Resource for PC Games: Steam

Most Popular Resource for PC Games: Steam


If you're shopping for PC games, you have tons of stores to choose from. Last week we asked you for your favorites, then took a look at the five best resources for PC games based on your nominations. Now we're back to highlight the winner of our poll.


Most Popular Resource for PC Games: Steam


The overall winner may have been obvious, but that's okay—the real benefit is in the nominations and the top five. That said, Steam is a juggernaut, clearly the most popular way for people to get PC games these days, due in no small part to its massive catalog, tons of indie games, cross-platform sensibilities, ease-of-use, and exceptional sales. It took the top spot with over 65% of the vote.


Second place goes to GOG (formerly Good Old Games), purveyors of DRM-free classic titles and new releases at excellent prices. They picked up over 11% of the total vote. Right behind them was Green Man Gaming , a UK-based games retailer with features to match Steam and prices that often beat it—and a great social presence that can be seen giving out discount codes and coupons to followers regularly. They picked up just shy of 10% of the overall vote. The Humble Bundle , well-loved for indie games, mobile games, cross-platform titles, and pay-what-you-want prices, took the fourth place slot with 8% of the vote, and Amazon , despite their price-matching and great sale prices, brought up the rear with over 5.5% of the votes cast.
