? GOG is a drm free storefront. Doesn’t have anything to do with the age of the game. Plenty of new releases launch on gog alongside steam/egs/Ms

Doesn’t have anything to do with the age of the game.

In that user's defense, GOG does stand for "good old games" and repackaging/fixing those has been one of their biggest accomplishments.

GOG hasn't been Good Old Games since 2012. Yeah, they aren't really screaming it from the mountains, but they rebranded to just GOG.com then: https://web.archive.org/web/20120329190108/https://www.gog.com/news/bigger_fresher_newer_see_whats_new_on_gogcom

Lol fair point. And its old game library is 2nd to none. But its homepage is also covered in Cyberpunk DLC and BG3

GOG stands for "Good Old Games" bro, TYL

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it doesn't. It used to. They dropped the old GOG branding back in 2012.

So what does it stand for now champ

Nothing

"On 27 March 2012, Good Old Games announced that it was branching out to feature "AAA" and independent titles in addition to older games. The site was rebranded to GOG.com."
