The DRM-free initiative.

We've always been on a mission to offer you games with no DRM protection whatsoever. Today, we want to start taking things a step further, help out people who bought a retail game with DRM, then ended up stuck with something rather unplayable. We can help you enjoy your favorites once again, and this time around, enjoy them DRM-free!

There are countless retail games out there that don’t work for various reasons: unsupported types of DRM, system incompatibilities, broken features. There's too many too count. Starting today, owners of several retail titles originally sold with DRM can get a digital copy of their game completely free at GOG.com: with no DRM as always, compatible with modern operating systems, and with plenty of goodies to boot.
<span class="bold">Reclaim these games, DRM-FREE:</span>




Editions released worldwide:
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Editions released only in CIS & Russian territories:
-Mount & Blade: Warband
-Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword
-Eador: Genesis




To reclaim your game, just use one of the keys that came with your box. You can find more detailed information on the Reclaim your games, DRM-FREE! page to see if your key is compatible and just where to go from there.

This is just the start of something much bigger. We plan to add more titles to the list in the future - it's a long and complicated process that involves negotiating with multiple parties and a scavenger hunt to retrieve forgotten key-databases - but then, we are on a mission here, we'll do whatever it takes.

Pheace: Why not use the keys you're trying to enter as a 'gift code'?

Strijkbout: Just tried it but I get the same message as with the reclaim page, thanks for trying to help though.
I'm not sure I got my point across. I meant, if you're going to give it away, why not give the CD-keys to someone so they can redeem the game on GOG (and thus not 'already own' the product), rather than trying to get a gift code out of it, which is basically just another code?

JinseiNGC224: My question is if you add a game I do own a hard copy of to that list, but I already own a GOG version in addition to that retail, can I still redeem my retail copy as a second game code to gift to a friend?
avatar
JudasIscariot: From the redeem page:

5. I bought one of the games before you launched this page, can I get a refund?
As usual, we can't offer refunds on account of giveaways or promotions. You can always give your spare key to a friend, and point them to this page.

yarrrjun: Wait a second. So does this mean that I'll be able to reclaim my retail boxed copy of The Witcher any time soon?

JudasIscariot: The first and second Witcher games were always redeemable :)
I saw that I didn't have a game on that list so didn't bother reading the questions/answers ;D

Thanks for the response! Can't wait to see what "big" things are coming ;)

*brain storms...*

My SoC key won't work either, it says it's invalid. It's in the same format. (From Steam)

Ah yes I understand now, good idea, thank you. :^)

My SoC key from Games for Windows Live Marketplace works. But I already own a GOG version here since MS doesn't care about GfWL haha.

Really solid step, GOG. :) As somebody else said I wish you good luck with this feature. Hopefully people are unable to abuse it or the majority choose not to.
