  Agreed. Besides other things like non-old games on “old games” website as you say, they were also caught not enforcing DRM, even though their biggest selling point is DRM-free games. Nevertheless, with some exceptions, you generally get good stuff, and it’s a good and reputable store overall.

  Pretty biased and low-quality article TBH.

  1. They’re talking about this news from GOG, yet they don’t even link the official news article. Only their own old news. Meh.

  2. What GOG really introduced is a way to financially support GOG, for various small perks. Yet the article somehow infers that GOG is doing bad financially, without providing any links to that conclusion.

  3. The view is quite capitalistic to be honest. Everything is looked at from the prism of money. Money this, money that. “Epic Games … burn money … decline … purchases …” (Yes, the news is for GOG but they’re discussion Epic Games.)

  Anyway, GOG remains not an ideal place for purchasing games, but by far the best for-profit game distribution company I think. I have 10-20 games from that store, and I’m quite happy that my games are from there and not other platforms. All DRM-free.
