They delete the links because there are no "free legal" versions fo the game on the internet. The legal rights is held by Action Forms,, and they have not made the game public domain. Any "free" versions of this game you find online are pirated copies, and it is both against the forum rules to pronote piracy, and illegal for gOg to host links to them. This is why they delete those links.

edit - it is fine to be against something, but you are going about it the wrong way here. Two wrongs do not make a right

For anyone who wants to play the DOS version of Chasm: The Rift, make sure you read https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/wiki/Game-issues#chasm-the-rift, otherwise the game will not run properly in Dosbox-Staging.

I remember playing the game. That was so long time ago, but even today I remember most of the weapons and monsters in the game. Unfortunately, Remaster (?Remake?) is not made by the same Ukrainian Team that was behind the original game development and it will not receive any money if users will buy Remaster. For that reason, I do not recommend buying Chasm The Rift Remaster in any digital store. My point and my opinion are clear enough to understand, I hope.

Chasm: The Rift is great game, so it would be pitty to ignore it from wrong reason. Currently I am playing original Quake and Chasm is significantly better game.

I beg to differ!

The original studio, "Action Forms", is DEFUNCT since 2011. They are not going to get any money regardless which version you buy.

The remaster is the only reason, you can enjoy the game at all. That it wasn't made by the same studio should be clear, given that the original developers have moved on.

SNEG, the new studio, was founded by former GOG employees. Made in Poland, by people who understand true classics. I have no quarrel with that. To call them "Russian" is nothing short of slander.

Besides: Developers sign away their copyrights to the titles they create when they sign the employment contract. And, in this case, not even the studio ever owned the rights to the game in the first place. They instead sold those rights to a publisher. So, with your purchases, you support whoever the current copyright holders and their financial investors are--not the developers, and not the studio. Regardless of which version of the game you buy.

I don't understand why people are making a fuss. Do folks not understand what the word "capital" in "capitalism" stands for? This is how the industry works, and has worked for decades. Copyrights are bought and sold. You can't sell your cake and eat it too. How is this a reason for surprise, let alone outrage?

If you, regardless, still absolutely insist on giving your money to the former developers. You still can, however. From what I understand, at least some of them have formed a new company based in Cyprus called "Tatem Games" focussing on "free" mobile games. Be warned though, the company is notorious for "games" that dump 5 minutes of ads on you for every 30 seconds of gameplay. If you want to give them your money, then better warm up your credit card for those sweet in-app purchases. Enjoy!

Personally, however, I'm grateful SNEG is bringing us back some classic titles that would otherwise have been lost to the passing of time.

SNEG (whose offices are located in London) are primarly made up of former employees of GoG, besides that there's no connection between the two companies.

Thank you for pointing that out. You are absolutely correct, and I updated that paragraph.
