> You keep writing backlog. Backlog and back catalog (the latter being what the rest of us are talking about) are two different things. It's been long enough that I don't recall if it was you or not who originally started using it in that manner. backlog is a shortening of the term 'back catalog', and the poster in question pointed that out, I simply ran with it. Since I don't recall exactly, I won't accuse you of having edited your post, but someone did as I can't find it now, but it was definitely used in that manner. > But a more general usage applies to Good Old Games as they started, a collection of otherwise out-of-print (in a manner of speaking) games. GoG started as a company that made it convenient to play older games by patching/adjust/configuring them to play on newer versions of Windows. That was their service. They weren't selling older games, they were selling the service of making them work on newer OS's. They have never been strictly a "back catalog" company, ever. Never in all of the time that I've been using them have I ever considered them to be an "old game" company. Characterizing them in that way is a mischaracterization. It's like calling MS an OS company because they happen to sell an OS (hint: they're a software company), or calling YCombinator a software forums company because they happen to run software forums. It's stupid.
