  • Ubisoft is killing off a game millions have bought (The Crew)
    Do not forget that when you look at your Steam profile; https://steamcommunity.com/id/[username]/games/?tab=all that you own none. Zero You own a license which can be revoked and you - currently - have no recourse. https://gog.com is one alternative, I am sure others here know more. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • Baldur's Gate 3 won The Game Awards 2023
    And I really need to repeat COMPLETE because of how they haven't cut out shit. The game has a ton of content, they literally put in everything they thought of, without the classic "let's better take this and sell it apart as a DLC" bullshit many, many studios do beforehand nowadays. And they also released it on GOG.com, a DRM-Free store, too. Source: 5 months ago
  • Legion Go: Just Tablet-Mode Games
    Game I tested recently that I was impressed by how well it worked was Baldur's Gate Enhanced edition. Worked great using the track pad and worked great using just the touch screen. So based on this, I imagine BG2 Enhanced edition and Torment Enhanced would work really well as well as its the same dev. All gog.com. But I understand if they're not to appealing because they are oldies. I'm still to try Shadowrun,... Source: 5 months ago
  • What's your favorite 90s RPG?
    There was this company when I was a kid called Spiderweb Software. They released independent RPG games for windows in the 90s and 2000s. I highly reccomend their Avernum series of games. You can get them for dirt cheap on gog.com. Source: 5 months ago
  • I have a question about Witcher one.
    On allegro.pl it goes between 50 and 120PLN, but that's for Extended Edition, and this one isn't it. It has been widely available on Polish market, there were a lot copies around and it has been made obsolete by Extended Edition next year (also in box and a nicer one at that), it was relatively dirt cheap at the time, so the value isn't high. Especially if the registration codes were already redeemed (yes, they... Source: 5 months ago
  • If I wanted to play BG1 & 2, how would I go about it?

  • Which way to play Alan Wake original Game
    I have Alan Wake remastered on ps5 and a really high end PC but don't own it on PC yet. I have the original alan wake and nightmare on steam and gog.com How much graphical improvements of PC vs PS5 and just how much better is it than the original pc version.

  • What were the original Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 desktop icons?
    I recently just installed Warcraft 1 and 2 that I purchased from GOG.com. When you buy a old game from GOG, the desktop icon is rarely ever resembling the original desktop icon. I know it's not a big deal, but I usually prefer playing on the original desktop icons for nostalgia sake, and I also really dislike the whole circle desktop icon GOG thing has going. I was wondering what the original Warcraft 1 and... Source: 7 months ago
  • How Do I Get Mafia II Definitive Edition Working?
    I recently purchased Mafia II: Definitive Edition from gog.com and tried to run it using heroic and crossover 23, but it wouldn't launch. Any suggestions on how to make it work? I have a MacBook Pro 13" M2. Source: 7 months ago
  • REMINDER on WHY we pirate
    And what about gog.com and the old games? Little by little I started to notice some rare old games had 0 seed and were impossible to get. Stuff like broken sword 3 and beyond divinity. What do I see on GOG? Asking 5-10euro price for a 30 old game that everyone has played and played and abandoned....only because people got lazy and nobody was seeding it anymore. Source: 7 months ago
  • What DLC to buy and where?
    So I would want to buy tboi repentance or something but I dont know where. In Epic games store its 40 pounds but in gog.com its only 15 pounds, can someone explain why? And if I buy it from gog.com do I also need to buy afterbirth+ and the earlier versions? Please someone explain im carving to play repentance! Source: 8 months ago

  • ELI5 why aren’t old games available on new platforms? Why isn’t videogame preservation supported?
    Good Old Games (gog.com) has tons of old games available. They basically built a model on convincing people to pay for abandonware. Source: 10 months ago
  • Where should I get Age of Conquerors?
    Are there any online game stores that sell this, or do I have to go find a disc on eBay? Seems it's not on gog.com. Not up for piracy cause I don't want viruses. Source: 10 months ago

GOG simply lets you download the game's EXE file in your browser from their website, no frills and no strings attached. The files can be copied and backed up as much as...
10 Alternatives to Steam for Buying Cheap PC Games
GOG is a digital distribution hub made by the people at CD Projekt, the developers of the well-regarded Witcher series. GOG is short for “Good Old Games,” and as expected, it specializes in a large catalog of older games that can sometimes be hard to find on other services. Though GOG has expanded into newer high-profile and indie games as of late, the service and its Galaxy download client are 100% DRM-free. This...
