I’m curious about trying Fallout (1997) but I saw that it exists for Steam and GOG Galaxy:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/38400/Fallout_A_Post_Nuclear_Role_Playing_Game/

https://www.gog.com/en/game/fallout

In this case, more like do I want to play Fallout on Steam or do I want to try playing it on GOG.com?

There are some other games I wanted to try on GOG.com too like Alone in the Dark 1+2+3 and System Shock 1+2 that I has discovered recently.

GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don't think it's required. I could be wrong...

Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.
