I agree that the title of this is completely wrong. Still this is excellent marketing. Imagine if more companies would give away their older products like this.

*I do NOT mean DRM-infested things like Steam.
- indranil 17y agonot Steam but what gog.com is doing is brilliant...
- aw3c2 17y agoYes! But sadly for US americans only. Plus I do not like to be bound to an account, I want to be more anonymous when I shop online.
- kelnos 17y agoWell, if you pay online with a credit card, you're hardly anonymous. Even if you use PayPal, there's still a trail.
- telemachuszero 17y agoWhat do you mean by US only? They have worldwide distribution rights for all the titles there.
- indranil 17y agoI myself am in India, and I've bought from them.
- aw3c2 17y agoOh nice! That must have changed recently. Yay!
- cdr 17y agoSteam is the most reasonable DRM I've seen. I don't mind it at all.
- raquo 17y agoI agree. About 10 years ago, someone gifted me a complete Half-life:Generation collection - with Counter-strike, Opposing Force, etc. I've recently found a Blue Shift CD from this collection and although it did not work, there was a serial on it, which I used to download the complete series from Steam.
- elblanco 17y agoSteam is beautiful because they actually use the DRM to provide service to the customers. Like being able to redownload the entire gaming collection on a new system so you don't have to keep a bunch of disks around. As an electronic distribution channel it's pretty much unparalleled.
