Hi, I really like this site and the service it provides.
Is there any way to donate straight to the site?

Not that I know of. It is a commendable sentiment, however. You could contact support and ask them.

Or you could just buy several copies of games you like and give them away to other forum users. That way GOG gets profits and some other people get lucky too.

Just buy games at full price. And the best way is surely to pre-order Cyberpunk 2077.

As for gifting games, if you decide to do that, you can either open your own giveaway threads and handle the selection process who gets games however you like. Or you just send gift-codes to finkleroy who handles the community giveaway. He'll then handle the distribution of the codes.

You can make donations here: https://www.gog.com/games

There is a multitude of donation options for all wallet sizes and you even get to choose thank you gifts for your donation.

For example, not too long ago I donated €22.49 and got A Plague Tale: Innocence absolutely free! How awesome is that?

You donate by buying stuff from them.

It is not a “service” it is a store, just like any of the other stores. I really don’t see where people get the idea it is anything but that. If you are looking for some archiving site try archive.org.

No need to donate, just buy games here! ;)

Buy CDProjekt games here since GOG and CDPRed are both under the CDP umbrella.

Buy many copies of Pajama Sam Vol. 1 and give them away to friends and family ;) (if you're a millionaire, but a few thousand copies :p)

While I really appreciate the sentiment of donating something extra to GOG or any store that goes above and beyond, the best way you can "donate" is to buy the games they sell here. Cyberpunk and Witcher series are done by their sister company, so you can start there if you don't have those. And if you have, buy more copies and gift them to your friends. Spread the word. Might be more helpful to them than a direct donation.

Also, consider donating to DOSBox (http://www.dosbox.com/) or ScummVM (https://www.scummvm.org/), both of whom are responsible to bringing hundreds of games that GOG sells to modern PCs, and who do use donations as their main income model. Also consider someone else from here:

Buy Thronebreaker ;)

A store is a service - a game-selling service.
This store goes above and beyond by rereleasing and reselling old games for modern pcs that aren't available anywhere else. It also releases games in a DRM free format which barely any other stores do and I love this idea, so I wanted to donate directly to them to support them.

I didn't just want to buy a game because then a cut of that will go to the developers instead of the people behind GOG. Also, I was not particularly craving any games. But I suppose buying CDPR games is the best way to go.

Yeah, supporting developers, what a terrible thing to do! We don't need those pesky developers, because GOG can magically invoke games out of nothing, they are just that good!

I know what gog is. Above an beyond what exactly? Steam sells old games, and has a system for running them on Linux? Zoom platform, humble, itch.io, several names which release old games, patched sometimes. GOG when it was good old games was like what you talk, it isn’t that anymore. They have a good 50/50 split of new and old, they don’t support a lot of new things though, no Mac OS 64bit, a lot missing Linux, galaxy broke win xp, etc. If you want to support the store, you buy things from them. If there is something you want to see, then put it on the wish list and maybe their legal team will look into getting the ip to be able to sell it. Afraid it’s not as simple as here is a cd, please distribute it.
And just to add the developers deserve the money more than gog, they put the work in to create the product. Publishers on the other hand...

Merch! though don't won't contribute to anything specif related to a forum i guess, in a way it would be silly thinking about a monetery contribution to a forum... show your best side of you and you should be fine right, i mean i see so many giving it their all here :D

To be fair, aside from not converting every DOSBox game to 64-bit DOSBox yet (they've done most I think), I'm not sure what else they could be expected to do regarding 64-bit support, and missing Linux/Mac builds are because of the developers or publishers, not GOG.
