AB2012: The GOG Way of 'preserving' old games by deleting half their versions and half the ways of running them is completely over-engineered in all the wrong areas vs downloading a zip file from elsewhere...
Have you contacted GOG about this? Is there an official reason for the missing version?

We usually complain if an older version of a game is only present as bonus zip.

Some of the installers also install runtimes and set up registry keys.

Kind of obvious, but we may as well make a record for the future.

g2222: Please check your link?! It leads to an article about "new games [sold] in big boxes" (nowe-gry-w-big-boxach-czy-to-ma-sens). I couldn't figure out how to get to the interview from there.
Fixed, that was the final part of the article.

Another new interview with GOG about bringing back Resident Evil, and potentially more Capcom classics:
https://www.timeextension.com/features/interview-the-company-that-brought-resident-evil-back-to-pc-wants-to-resurrect-more-capcom-classics
Time Extension: Are there any more surprises you have in store for us this year? Can you give us any teases of what’s to come?

Paczyński: While we can’t say anything upfront – you can be sure that this is going to be an exciting year for GOG! We could definitely tease you to be particularly vigilant around the time of our Sweet 16 anniversary.

Here's two new articles, including one that explains why the above mentioned Sweet 16 Anniversary surprise didn't show up yet:
https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/12/gog-plans-to-preserve-at-least-500-games-through-its-new-program-by-the-end-of-2025
https://gizmodo.com/old-pc-games-will-be-playable-again-thanks-to-gogs-preservation-efforts-2000534287
...plans to preserve "at least 500 games" by the end of 2025. According to Paczyński, GOG already has a list of a bunch of these titles, including "a few very iconic and long-requested games". Some of these were intended to join the program back in November but had to be held back from the initial batch, as they needed some additional fixes before they could be added to the program.

SCPM:
"Some developers have even reached out to GOG directly in the aftermath of last month's announcement, offering their own games to become part of the program, though GOG was unsurprisingly unwilling to reveal who these companies were at this moment in time."

One can only hope more and more devs will realize the importance of game preservation.

Lengthy article about GOG's management and recent layoffs with insight (mostly critique) from current and ex-employees. It's in Polish and I don't feel like translating it, so you'll have to use translator.
Posted December 18, 2024
Nope, sorry. Can't provide a Google translation for this because the forum keeps breaking the URL not matter what I try (quotation marks, % encoding of funny characters, ...). I don't know what the problem is here.

Just copy and paste the original link yourself into here:

Or click ssling's link below, lol.

That broken link you had there actually worked fine.

Not in Firefox, it doesn't. Meanwhile, Firefox's own built-in translation works, but it's a VERY rough translation -- for me, pretty much unreadably so.

EDIT: Never mind, operator error (didn't think to allow any required, additional domains in NoScript). =D
