Steam does provide good general dev services
GOG preserves games and let's you own game files without pesky DRM
What does Epic do besides developing UE5 and harrassing the PC platform with exclusivity deals?

Other dev-specific platforms like EA amd Uplay get a pass because they publish only their own games.

Rip the base game + patches in a zip rather than the bare CD for preservation...
Right now the CDs are basically plastic waste inside more waste, sealed inside more waste.

Nintendo is a major exception to everything. This is about PC, XBOX and Playstation.

"Physical games" that dont run until patched with 5 day one patches because the game needed to be shipped with something.
Or you get a code lol

In Germany we achieved a ruling so they need to provide a minimum network speed. If they cant do that, you can deduct some of the fee after you gave them multiple tries to fix the problem.

Luckily I started to only buy games after comparing on isthereanydeal.

What I find got me a very high ratio were some high volume torrents (e.g. >500gb) that only few were considering seeding 24/7.
So far those netted me the most ratio of anything I have done.
