Blizzard is delisting the OG Warcrafts from GOG, but GOG says it's gonna preserve them forever anyway, hands out a discount, and announces new policy for its preservation program to boot (www.pcgamer.com)

What’s GoG?

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 19 points 2 days ago

A DRM free store that's run by the CD Projekt Red guys. It focuses mainly on older games (Good Old Games) but it also got modern DRM free games such as Baldurs Gate 3.

If you're buying an older game, it's likely a better option than whatever steam offers as GOG will also try to fix old games that are broken on modern systems.
