We believe the games that shaped us deserve to stay alive: easy to find, buy, download, and play forever. But time is annoyingly good at erasing them. Rights get tangled, compatibility breaks, builds disappear, and a nostalgic evening often turns into a troubleshooting session. That’s the difference between “I’m playing today” (the game lives on) and “I’ll play someday” (the game dies).

As Michał put it: “GOG stands for freedom, independence, and genuine control.”

the vision was simple: bring classic games back to players, and make sure that once you buy a game, it truly belongs to you, forever. In a market increasingly defined by mandatory clients and closed ecosystems, that philosophy feels more relevant than ever.

This new chapter is about doubling down on that vision. We want to do more to preserve the classics of the past, celebrate standout games of today, and help shape the classics of tomorrow, including new games with real retro spirit.

fuck yeah \o/

My downloads are at maybe 2 MB/S through Heroic (officialy 0.5 MB/S but I think the numer dispoayed is wrong) and Firefox, slower than on Steam even if my connection isn’t crazy.

I keep the games installed and move the installation between internal and external storage.
