    I haven’t been gaming on PC for a long time so stopped following it, but from what I recall, they changed that.

    They officially changed their name to “GOG”, previously it was same but it stood for Good Old Gaming, they removed that part. Also, they started focusing on getting newer games. I am typing this from memory, so it’s possible that it isn’t exactly correct, but that’s what I recall.

    It seems they are going back to their roots. Maybe because they need competitive edge to stay in market, or maybe they actually care about these things, who knows.

      They did say that GOG didn’t mean “Good Old Games” anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

      They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them…

      They’d be crazy to stop that. As you said, it’s one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.
