Good Old Games taking on new form4

If you knew of GOG already, this will probably make you sad. If you didn’t, watch out for it when it comes back up.

I hope they didn’t run themselves out of business by being amazing. I hope they can still do the no-DRM thing. I can’t say I’ve seen GOG releases on torrent sites, but then I haven’t been looking for the games either, so the point may be moot. From what I remember, I think the policy on Blackcats Games (which has recently stopped being a walled fortress) was that they weren’t allowed to be uploaded. Not that they’re the biggest source of VIDEO GAMES on the internet, but I’d hope the same appreciation for the service would exist elsewhere as well.

At any rate, no matter what it comes down to, if they have the same prices it will still be amazing. Compatibility is less of an issue now that Windows 7 can mostly take care of things, but trying to get some of that stuff to work on XP and Vista would have been a nightmare.

We’ll just have to wait and see.
