Message: [QUOTE="_oBSOLEte_, post: 213200, member: 39353"] GOG preserving videogames is just bullshit marketing. They sell non-transferable licences just like the other platforms. It's literally Game As A Service. After a year of discussion with the STOP KILLING GAMES organizers, they ended up refusing to advertise the actions in their weekly newsletter spam. Because GOG's best selling game is a noCD patched version of Ubisoft's Heroes 3. They paywall cracked versions of abandonware games that should just have fallen in the public domain and they forced the other sites to remove the original ISOs. Now we're legally stucked with their packaged outdated DOSBox, not even playable on actual DOS computers. Some localized versions are not available anymore. Let's be real for one sec, no one is keeping a backup of their GOG library, not even you. Those games were preserved on abandonware sites until GOG saw the opportunity to necro that market and forced them to remove the download link and put an ad to their site instead. And when the neoretro fad will end, GOG will close their *service* and run away with the money, laughing. [/QUOTE]
