Retro gaming service Good Old Games (GOG.com) is known primarily for two things – a working version of Planescape: Torment and DRM-free downloads.
Talking to Adventure Classic Gaming, GOG’s PR guy Lukasz Kuwaski explains the company’s policy-free policy, saying that “Treating a legitimate customer like a potential criminal won’t convince them to buy original copies of games”.
“In our opinion a better way to get people to spend their hard earned money on original games rather than pirating them is to give them a good value for money – offer good games for reasonable prices, making the whole experience hassle-free, adding exclusive free goodies which they won’t get with a torrent download.
“We believe adding those incentives are well worth all the work and effort rather than just adding a draconian DRM software which will only make legitimate customers’ life more difficult.”
