GOGcom

GOG.com, originally Good Old Games, is a digital distribution platform and storefront for PC games and software operated by CD Projekt. It launched in 2008 with a focus on cataloging and distributing classic PC titles without digital rights management (DRM), aiming to preserve compatibility with modern systems.

In 2012 the service was rebranded as GOG.com and broadened its catalog to include newer titles from independent developers and mainstream publishers, while retaining its DRM-free delivery model. The platform sells games as download installers that consumers may install and run without mandatory DRM. Most titles support Windows, with additional Mac and Linux versions provided for a subset of titles either as native installers or via the GOG Galaxy client.

GOG offers an optional software client, GOG Galaxy, which helps manage a user’s library, saves, and social features, and supports cross-platform play; use of the client is optional for purchases. In addition to selling games, GOG runs regional pricing, frequent sales, and bundles, and provides a refund policy consistent with consumer protection laws.

GOG has published titles under its own GOG Originals label, focusing on DRM-free releases from select developers. The platform emphasizes consumer rights, accessibility of older titles, and ongoing efforts to keep classic games playable on modern hardware.

CD Projekt operates GOG.com as part of its digital distribution ecosystem, positioning it as a DRM-free alternative in the global PC game storefront market.
