A friend of mine sent me a link to a GOG freebie for Tex Murphy Meanstreets/Martian Memorandum back in 2009, so being a fan of Under a Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive, I made an account for the freebie and signed up for their newsletter. A few times after that I got an email notificaiton of another freebie and went back to the site for some more free games. Sadly, during those visits I never really looked at the store beyond the freebies, nor what GOG was all about.

But then in autumn of 2012 the DRM-free phrase caught my eye on the storefront page and a link to the page that tells you what GOG is all about and I read it fully and was like... wow, how did I miss this all this time? This is a store with consumer friendly motto that is delivering a good thing, I need to support this!

So... in October 2012 I started buying games on sale, and after a few smaller purchases one of GOG's big mega sales came on and there were TONNES of games I wanted for like $2, so I went on a shopping binge and bought 57 games all in one purchase and broke their shopping system which was hard coded to accept orders of up to 50 games only for some reason. LOL I got an email back from support telling me this and apologizing, then they gifted me the 7 games that went missing from my order even though they didn't charge me for them in the first place. I would have been happy to just buy them in a second order, but had a great experience with support plus the free games.

Thus began my GOGdiction. My only regret is not receiving a wall mountable plaque for breaking their shopping cart system with an order that was too big. Who would have known that up until that point, all of their customers were just n00bs. LOL

English is an impressise and context driven language. The meaning of words depends on the context in which they are used. The word "classic" has many meanings. For example it can mean something that over time has been deemed to have a very high quality, it can mean a piece of art that has been deemed to have high culutral value (no matter age), but also it can mean something that is typical of it's genre. (there are other meanings as well)

anything to do with age or old is subjective.

Ah yes nostalgia, Gog's first and foremost "tactic' ;P

I came here in 2013 for a version of Dungeon Keeper™ 2 that worked on modern PCs
Not long after, when Valve released a "Family Sharing" system that required you to pick a favourite child, I gave up on Steam. I can safely say, if it wasn't for GOG, I'd likely given up on PC gaming all together.

So thank you GOG for saving my PC Gaming

i first came to gog in 2011, and it was the DRM free hype I heard about like why would anyone sell games with no DRM it would lead to unauthorized sharing. I was wrong because one game I bought Chronicles of Riddick, the physical edition just wouldn't work, so I got the gog one and it worked wonders! :)

Oh so true...!
ps: many such cases.
ps2: personally I think gog's lineup is amazing overall. Yep gaps here and there but the curation is just superb. RACING GAMES ASIDE and.. oh nevermind! ;P
