Interesting: "GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder".

Hey everyone,

Today, GOG has been acquired from CD PROJEKT by our original co-founder, Michał Kiciński (also a co-founder of CD PROJEKT).

We know announcements like this often come with a bunch of reasonable questions, so here’s the straightforward version.

What does NOT change:
- GOG stays DRM-free
- GOG GALAXY remains optional
- The mission stays the same: Making Games Live Forever. We’ll keep games playable over time, revive classics properly, and stick to gamer-friendly policies

About CD PROJEKT games: We’ll also continue our close cooperation with CD PROJEKT, and their upcoming titles will remain available on GOG.

For more info, here’s the full announcement + FAQ: LINK

The GOG Team

Can't say I was expecting this, but it did kind of feel like GOG had been in a bit of an odd position for a while already. I'm cautiously optimistic myself but as always, change doesn't come without risk as well.

Somewhat related: GOG has now a patron program for the game preservation, 5 bucks a month and you're in!

That's definitely been a curious thing. I've considered joining, but... I don't really know what the money is used for. I don't really know it's money they're using for game preservation and wouldn't be otherwise, it's all too vague for me. Also, I'm worried Windows 12 is going to make me a Linux-only user, and since GOG Galaxy doesn't support Linux (even though many games on GOG do!), I'm a bit more reserved with GOG than I've been before. I kind of wish Microsoft announced Windows 12 (and especially its main features) already so I would know where we're heading.
