For a little over two years, CD Projekt’s digital distribution platform, Good Old Games, has offered shoppers shelves stocked with DRM-free indie gems and beloved classics. Sadly, it seems the site’s run has come to an end — an update on GOG.com announces “we’ve decided that GOG.com simply cannot remain in its current form.”
CD Projekt might not have given up on the classic archive altogether, as the update later adds, “this doesn’t mean the idea behind GOG.com is gone forever. We’re closing down the service and putting this era behind us as new challenges await.” If you’ve purchased games on the platform before, don’t panic, as the site will soon “put in place a solution to allow everyone to re-download their games.”
