Noclip Documentary: "GOG: Preserving Gaming's Past & Future"

[Austin]

Noclip just posted an interesting documentary about GOG. I know a lot of folks here have used this site for a while so I figured I'd share. Lots of interesting information here and it's neat to know what goes on behind the scenes.

 

"How do old games come back from the dead? We talk to the people at GOG.com about the work they do to hunt down & release classic games, and their mission to encourage more DRM free releases."

I like GoG, and use it regularly.

But, a couple of months ago, they changed their T&Cs and changed the Privacy settings default setting to completely open. It seems they want a more social media type of GoG, and this didn't go down well with everyone.

You can change it all back to private, but it took members of the forum to point this all out, not for GoG, themselves, to do the same.

I'm a big fan of Noclip's work. Their videos on the newest Doom are great. You can really feel the passion from the people that worked on that game. I'll definitely be watching this. Thanks for posting.

That was great, thanks for sharing. Pretty much the only (non-Atari) games I play are via GOG.com. Love it.

I'll catch this but I know much of what they do following along for years, so you get a like for it anyway.

 

Nice to see 2hrs ago they added Dragon's Lair 1+2 and Space Ace to buy. I'm curious to find out how the rendition they picked up works.
