GOG’s New Plan To Weaponize Its Community’s Wishlist Of Games To Pressure IP Holders (www.techdirt.com)

I’ll give the folks over at Good Old Games (GOG) credit: they’re certainly doing what they said they were going to do. We’ve been talking about GOG a fair amount lately, mainly since the platform announced it was pivoting back to focus on its initial raison d’etre: bringing retro, DRM-free games back to a public storefront for gamers to legitimately purchase. GOG stated that it was doing this in part in order to get into the business of video game preservation, a prospect that everyone knew would be tested largely due to fights and/or confusion over IP rights held by publishers, studios, and god knows who else.

No One Lives Forever has disappeared off the face of the earth and I really enjoyed it back in the day. I wish GOG sucess in getting it back into circulation.

I happen to have the original CDs and might be of help in preservation efforts. Not quite sure where I misplaced them, but I just had NOLF 2 in my hands.

Freelancer was such a good game, I wish there were more like it.

You can literally request Nintendo IP there. Doesn't mean that it will come true, but I requested literally all Mario amd Zelda games as soon as I found out.

There is no comparable equal to those titles on PC.
