    Isn’t this the exact reason GOG was founded in the first place? How is this new?

    edit: to be clear, I’m fully in support of this. I’ve just been under the assumption they’ve always done this.

      I guess this is just a 100% confirmation for software that has required manual intervention from their team, and isn’t just a re-host of the ‘warts and all’ original.

      I think they’ve earned the brag though.

      I haven’t been gaming on PC for a long time so stopped following it, but from what I recall, they changed that.

      They officially changed their name to “GOG”, previously it was same but it stood for Good Old Gaming, they removed that part. Also, they started focusing on getting newer games. I am typing this from memory, so it’s possible that it isn’t exactly correct, but that’s what I recall.

      It seems they are going back to their roots. Maybe because they need competitive edge to stay in market, or maybe they actually care about these things, who knows.

    Star Control is there!

    Of course, that one still has an incredible amount of support. Mostly fan support, but the original devs are finally making an official sequel to SC2!

    I hope that Interstate 76 can finally work now, I tried everything from the forums but the game just refused to load, this wasn’t my experience with Gog years ago.

      Oh that is uncanny, I was just thinking about this game today. Really a surprisingly unique car combat game, I still haven’t played anything like it.

    Preserving good old games!

    Asterisk: Unless the CCP don’t like it, in which case it can go fuck itself.
