GOG.com

Good Old Games opened for business on 1 August 2008 with a narrow brief: re-release classic PC titles free of DRM, disc checks, and activation servers. The proposition was that a purchase should survive the retailer, the publisher, and the hardware it was first installed on. Nearly two decades later the catalogue has widened to new releases, indie projects, and a small shelf of films and television, but the terms of sale have not moved.

Ownership changed hands in December 2025. CD Projekt, the Polish group that had incubated the store since its founding, sold GOG to Michał Kiciński, one of CD Projekt's own co-founders. The store had spent most of its life as a wholly owned subsidiary trading as GOG sp. z o.o., with its finances folded into the parent's reports rather than published separately. Kiciński's purchase returned the brand to a founder's hands and removed it from the group structure that had housed it for seventeen years.

The storefront lists roughly 12,980 games as of late 2026, sold for Windows, macOS, and Linux with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The optional Galaxy client adds cloud saves, achievements, and cross-platform multiplayer, and it can pull in libraries from other storefronts without requiring that purchases run through it. A Preservation Program, extended in September 2026 to printable at-home big box templates, sits alongside the retail operation, and the company confirmed in July 2026 that Galaxy is being ported to Linux.
