Yeah, but what about those stolen cracks?
And stolen manual scans from replacementdocs.com?

It's also sad that some games might never be released because of unresolved or complicated copyright issues. Case in point: Dune 2.

There's a free TC for that.It's also sad that some games might never be released because of unresolved or complicated copyright issues. Case in point: Dune 2.

Those are the ones you pirate with zero remorse whatsoever. If anyone thinks I'm never playing Westwood's Blade Runner again because of corporate bullshit they're living in retardo land.

There are pages dedicated to making old games playable.
Check CollectionChamber blogspot page, they should have one.

I agree on principle, but if you can take anything away from this documentary it's that quite a few publishers GOG contacted simply could not be bothered or were apprehensive of GOG as a company considering they were just starting out. I imagine few would refuse them these days unless there's some DRM shenanigans going on or it really is ownership dispute on some level. If GOG will do the actual legwork there's absolutely no reason not to have your game there and earn something through that avenue.

That's nice and all but - and I know I'm in the minority here - I vastly prefer SWAT 3 to SWAT 4. I have both and played through SWAT 3 multiple times but couldn't bear more than a few missions of SWAT 4. It's just... too colourful, too modern, too shooter-y to me.

Games like Blade Runner require so many different license holders and such to get together it's never gonna happen. There are legit games that will be almost impossible for GOG (or anyone else) to ever sell again because of this. There are even newer games like Alan Wake that get fucked by licensing and aren't sold legit anymore. True some of it could probably be worked out if companies were willing to pay, but A) none of them are gonna pay without sight of a return, and B) sometimes it's so complicated it's not worth bothering with for them.
Hence, like with DRM that'll likely never be patched out, we rely on the community to preserve games.

Yeah it's easy to use, especially now that Windows 10 handles iso files just like a zip folder. I actually have Blade Runner installed on my PC right now. Only quirk is you have to have the appropriate iso file open when you launch the game.

A very informative video, but the best part is 4, where they explain the process of getting the games to run on modern systems.
On the subject of "scanning and digitizing manuals" they just say: "We let the new guy handle it."
Uh-huh.

They don't update the DRM free installs anymore?
Edit:
Gog is doing cultural appropriation. GET THEM!

To change a topic, on a last sale I bought "Die by the Sword" and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. If only camera would be a bit more better.

They do, or so they claim in the little disclaimer in the download section.

Do you use mouse and keyboard or keyboard only controls?
