Welcome to the GOG.com press beta, you lucky devil! The GOG.com Team is honored to present our little baby, the GOG.com press beta. With the site launching in September and a closed public beta starting August 1, we have decided to choose a group of our favorite journalists (that's you!) and give you exclusive access to GOG.com before anyone else! In the beta, you should be able to check out all of the main features of GOG.com, including downloading our DRM-free, Windows Vista and Windows XP compatible classic games and getting involved in the community section to post your comments and reviews, rate games, read others' reviews and talk about the games in the forums. We appreciate any feedback.
It also occurred to us that you might want to ask some questions or get more info about GOG.com... so here's how you do it. Just contact Tom Ohle (tom.ohle-at-cdprojektred.com) and Lukasz Kukawski (lkukawski-at-gog.com) and we'll take care of you.
In the meantime, download and play some games, rate them, leave reviews, and get involved in the community. There's lots to do, and your feedback will be invaluable in making sure we have the best classic-games site around.

GOG.com opens its doors to the public! No more teaser pages, sign-ups, or access keys. After a very successful Early Access Beta we're moving into Open Beta. From today on, GOG.com is officially available to every classic PC games fan that wants to satisfy their need for DRM-free Good Old Games. “The success of the Early Access Beta showed us that there is huge demand for DRM-free classic PC games, and it helped us to prepare the site for the public launch. We are endlessly grateful to the users for their support and assistance,” said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com. Don't wait, create your GOG.com account and dive into the world of classic PC gaming.
