GOG, standing for Good Old Games, was founded in 2008 by CD Projekt to make classic PC games available in legal and DRM-free ways. Over the years, it has expanded to include modern games and, controversially, released Hitman with a need for online connection. (They later apologized and removed Hitman from their catalogue.) Today, GOG announced the first steps in their plan to refocus on classic games, by introducing a "Good Old Game" tag to their catalog. Searching this tag will bring users to a collection of over 500 games hand-picked by the GOG team that "are older than 10 years and are critically acclaimed, stand the test of time, defined certain mechanics, or simply created new genres." Included in this collection are games such as BioShock, Fallout, and Baldur's Gate.

To celebrate the occasion, GOG also released Night Dive Studios' The Wheel of Time, a first-person spellcasting game from 1999 based on the hit series of books. Like all classic games on GOG, it has been updated to run on modern OSes and to have hi-res support, but is otherwise presented as it was in 1999.

GOG stop enabling my gaming habit by making me want to check out old games, some familiar, some not to me.

I really hope GOG won't go under because of the trouble one can hear about in the internet, as their work for maintaining and selling old game is really impressive and respectable.

Why would they go under?

Why would they go under?

Insufficient profitability? Why does anything go under?

I would have preferred they released Devotion and apologized for taking it down.

Would be interesting if they managed to get some of the clasic Lego games like Rock Raiders Alpha Team and Racers.

You can get Lego Racers on abandonware sites, if you're looking to scratch an itch.
