GOG step up for gaming preservation without marketing stunts

The preservation for video games is a hot topic and not a topic where gaming companies, fans and historians sees a happy-medium. Nevertheless, there is always a chance that some of the gaming industry can share their grain of salt for the good of it.

Enters Good Old Game or GOG, the Projekt Red’s own PC gaming storefront focusing on recent a past released made and announcement this month.

The GOG Preservation Program ensures classic games remain playable on modern systems, even after their developers stopped supporting them. By maintaining these iconic titles, GOG helps you protect and relive the memories that shaped you, DRM-free and with dedicated tech support.

With GOG Preservation Program, GOG intentions are that classical games remain playable for modern system as technically as possible and with this, a proper marketing and selling of the game without string attached or bracing for a remaster of a remake.

The context behind this move, is that as per Video Game History Foundation, which claims that 87% of games created before 2010 are inaccessible today, a HORRIBLE number in days that there is an increase of kids not respecting where gaming came from at all.

GOG already included and re-developed games from Resident Evil, Warcraft, Dragon Age, Fallout, System Shock, Diablo, Heroes of Might and Magic, Dungeon Keeper, The Witcher, and Monkey Island franchises and of course, plans to keep adding more games to the Preservation Program over time.
