        For logistical reasons, exclusively Steam & GoG in recent months, 'cos I'm in a non-anglophone country and the localisation for a lot of games I play just doesn't exist, while for the rest, being an English speaker, just comes off as cringy as f*** or plainly terrible. English to Chinese transliteration sucks absolute balls.

          since I have Amazon Prime, I generally buy from Amazon since I'll get the game the day it comes out. They generally have decent prices on used games, though I also buy some on ebay. Don't think I've bought a game in store in years.

              Steam. Many years back when i still played World of Warcraft, I used to buy my physical copies of the expansions from a local shop chain called Datablitz. Since I'm in the SEA region of Steam, I cannot gift the cheaper games I buy to friends outside my region. In those cases I go to GoG to buy the game there for gifting.

                Its Amazon or digital for me, I'm about 40 mins away from my nearest store that sells video games.

                      Regional Online stores like Coolshop.de and Netgames.de, I have a bookmark folder full of online stores I always compare prices with but in most cases one of these 2 has the lowest prices.

                        I still prefer physical copies so I tend to do most of my tripple A shopping at the typical anti-hipster outlets like best buy and Walmart.

                          I use steam because they have a wide selection and great sales even though the user interface is broken half the time. I don't really see the point in driving to retail stores these days since they don't always have what I want and can't compete with prices.

                            I used to get hard copies in stores like Gamestop or Walmart but CD's get scratched and take space and I'm now in a French-speaking country so it's not easy to find titles in English.
                            I like to use Steam or Gog. I'm able to order a game or directly buy it and download it the same day with customer support that is rather hard to get from a store, and also gift it to my son in the States and he gets it within an hour.
                            Don't let them blame, shame or tame you.

                              Well, we only have a GameStop where I live. We used to have 2-3 game stores. It's kinda a bummer to be honest. I do like going to the game section of a local hardware store called Media Markt though. I mostly shop at webstores nowadays and have games sent to me by mail though.

                                Best Buy until my Gamer's Club Unlocked expires. Then I'll probably move to Amazon.
