> Blizzard [...] has asked GOG to remove its non-remastered, DRM-free $15 bundle of those games from its store on December 13.
> GOG [...] suddenly finds itself with a new policy to figure out. So GOG is putting the Warcraft I & II Bundle on sale (discount code "MakeWarcraftLiveForever" for $2 off) and is letting folks know that if they buy it before December 13, they will keep access to it after the delisting, complete with offline installers.
That's not a new policy. That's their existing policy with no changes.
Though they're giving the company much gentler treatment than they used to. When Duke Nukem got pulled, GOG put it on giveaway.
- etiam 2y agoThey've worked a fair bit at it already and if they intend to keep maintaining it indefinitely without possibility for further sales it could be nice to actually get money for it at this point. Also, I'm not sure what they might be obligated to pass to the copyright holder per copy? Maybe it's not a proportion of the sales price in this case?
