Usually I buy my video games from steam. I used to always buy my games as physical discs, however I don't have to pay for shipping costs if I buy it from steam

I used to buy the games off Nintendo eShop, especially for my Nintendo DSi

Honestly it's some kind of mystery...I give my parents the money, they get the game. My dad has some kind of hidden talent of finding games at slashed prices, so...as long as I give him what I owe, he'll find games for me

Pretty much anywhere. For PC games I mostly buy games off of Steam with a couple exceptions, but for console games I buy some off the digital stores they have in the case of the Switch and Xbox One but also buy games from GameStop and Target or whatever every so often. For those along with a lot of my older systems though I usually go to a local game store I really like due to their customer service and the variety of games and systems they tend to have.

For console/pc games: Flea Markets, Digital, Big shops (that order).

For board games: Boardgame shop, online, flea market (that order).

Usually Amazon these days. If I buy games in a game store now, I’m probably looking in the prepared section.

Either Steam or used disks for my PS4

I have a local store nearby that I usually check first, got Smash Ultimate there for $40 a few months after it came out lol. Otherwise I typically buy from the standard places, Amazon/Walmart/etc.

I usually buy online from Amazon, Target or Walmart. There aren't any local secondary gaming stores that I know of.

Depends, really. My town is dry on places to buy that stuff. You either go to the flea market or the 2 shops. So I end up buying most things digital, unless is something "retro". Then I go to my friend's shop or to the other side of town to the older shop.

It used to be GameStop irl. Now I just buy digitally. While I used to love having the physical thing now I’m just lazy and want the game asap lol.

I like having physical copies of games, so I'll usually go to the nearby EB Games for those. If I need anything digital, I'll get it off the Steam store or the Eshop.

Been buying games from Steam, to play on my new computer  

[Astralshy 26,753]

These days I'm buying them exclusively online. I'm not only buying these at steam. Some years earliert I was buying them in some local shops.

As someone who regularly games on PC these days, I mainly buy my games from Steam.
