Cause there's no business like show-business!

Our DRM-Free approach to digital distribution has been the foundation of GOG.com since day one and we're convinced it is now firmly rooted in the gaming industry landscape. More and more users start to expect and demand the digital content they paid for to be free from any kind of restrictive mechanisms that limit access to their collections and get in the way of enjoyment. We think this is a good time to take the next step in our quest to make digital entertainment better for everyone. Today we set out to spread our DRM-Free ideas across the movie industry! That's right: GOG.com now offers DRM-Free movies.

Our goal is to offer you cinema classics as well as some all-time favorite TV series with no DRM whatsoever, for you to download and keep on your hard drive or stream online whenever you feel like it. We talked to most of the big players in the movie industry and we often got a similar answer: "We love your ideas, but … we do not want to be the first ones. We will gladly follow, but until somebody else does it first, we do not want to take the risk". DRM-Free distribution is not a concept their lawyers would accept without hesitation. We kind of felt that would be the case and that it's gonna take patience and time to do it, to do it, to do it right. That's quite a journey ahead of us, but every gamer knows very well that great adventures start with one small step. So why not start with something that feels very familiar? We offer you a number of gaming and internet culture documentaries - all of them DRM-Free, very reasonably priced, and presenting some fascinating insight into topics close to a gamer's heart. Now, what do we have in store for you?

- There's a whole new Movie Catalog for you to browse!
- All the movies we sell are priced at $5.99 (that's a launch promo price for a few of them), and we aim to have that as the main price point for most of our future releases
- Two of the movies - The Art of Playing and TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard are available for FREE, so that you can test our new movie distribution features
- Most of our movies are in Full HD 1080p quality, some in 720p. With those of you with limited bandwidth or download quota in mind, we also supply much lighter 576p versions.
- Apart from downloading your movies you have the option to watch them streaming online, right here on GOG.com
- GOG.com is famous for its bonus goodies - each movie will come with as many of them as we can muster
- You can expect subsequent movie releases each week

That's it. GOG.com Movies is a go, time to get some popcorn!

snip3rfire: I think movies based on games would perform well on GOG (despite how bad a lot of them turned out to be):

- Mortal Kombat
- Street Fighter
- Tomb Raider
- Hitman
- Resident Evil
- Mario Bros. The Movie
Mortal Kombat Legacy and Fallout Nuka Break would be good options. Both are viewable on Youtube. Mortal Kombat Legacy is also sold on Bluray, and Fallout Nuka Break is sold in a higher quality digital format.

Mortal Kombat Legacy - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1842127/
2 seasons of short episodes.

Fallout Nuka Break - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2056910/
2 short movies and 2 seasons of short episodes.

One of the most boring shows I've ever tried to watch. It was popular though, so it could bring some new customers here.

Some people seem to think it's either this or Laura Bow games. What led you to that conclusion? I am genuinely curious. So please, enlighten me.

Can't we have both? Didn't GOG already show us they can add new things without abandoning the thing that started this all?

I am not particularly interested in movies they currently offer, but I am sure their catalog will expand. And I am looking forward to getting some good movies here, right next to good old games and good newer games.

JudasIscariot: We make sure to include all of the possible subtitles for every movie that has them :) Unfortunately, not every movie has official subtitles and we cannot make them ourselves...unless you'd like us to get "creatve" with our translations :D
Are you going to include SRT files for subtitles? They can be easily used with any format if the player understands them, so you don't need to embed them inside the video file.

Yes, those movies that have subtitles will have a bonus item called "subtitle pack" showing up shortly :)

edit: in case it's just the English subs, the bonus item will be called "subtitles (English)" :)

LogicDeLuxe: Would it be possible to distribute "Min Avatar og mig", another video game related movie? www.minavatarogmig.com
I don't understand that language, but I know there are at least English and German dubbed versions.
It's a love story in a documentary style about Second Life with fictional elements mixed in.
I'd love to get that movie in a decent quality.
We have a wishlist dedicated to movies now :)

Good catch. I think indie film makers should find GOG attractive. GOG should add "submit your film" form, as there is one for games now :) (Right now it's just an e-mail link but I guess it's good for a start).

Yeah, I just saw it :) But it looks like a stub in comparison with games submission form. Anyway, good start.

Unsure if this has been discussed before, but can you also "mux" extra audio in with the file? I just converted Indie Game: The Movie to a mkv with the two commentary tracks myself because it's so wonky to play external audio with the movie.

I know this means bigger file sizes, but looking at the commentary tracks they're only around 100mb, which compared to a movie file that is a few gigs it should be negligible.
