I've had this question looking at the Quake con sale, and Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth is for sale on both platforms. I ended up buying it on GOG. What is your opinion?

That works for a browser but I would still need the client to install, uninstall, and manage game settings.

When you already own a game, the web interface turns the buy button into a play button and a not-installed game will be installed, so the user style is applied there. Also every single modern operating system has the ability to invert screen colors.

Windows (looks a bit weird because I had to use my camera because Windows itself does not screenshot the inversion):

SteamOS Desktop Mode (=Linux with Plasma Desktop):

Biggest problem was the photo of the Windows screen. Otherwise maybe 2 to 5 minutes invested to find this out. OS-wide accessibility settings exist for a reason.

I appreciate the help and it's nice to know those settings exist, but I don't think it is morally okay to support a company that is fine with discriminating against those with disabilities. If a PC game is only available on Steam, I will either purchase a console port and pirate the PC version or not play the game at all until it becomes available on a better service. If there is a Switch version, I'll just play that instead.
