Buyers of games from the GOG Preservation Program will receive the most complete version currently available, along with guides, bonus and downloadable content, and features not found in other titles.
«If technical problems arise, the GOG support team will be ready to help. As always, you will also have access to offline installers to protect your games,” says GOG.
According to GOG Managing Director Maciej Golębiewski, the new initiative highlights the service’s core mission of preserving classic games for new generations of gamers.
«We protect gaming heritage and ensure that classics remain accessible, updated and intact, even as technology and the industry move forward. We give games an eternal life,” says GOG.
