GOG.com has really changed the landscape of PC gaming and it’s amazing to think it all started just 5 years ago with some old games and a dream. The dream was to have good old games, fair worldwide pricing, soundtracks and other goodies along with everything being DRM free. That small idea for Good Old Games (GOG.com) has blossomed into a huge digital storefront of games old and new along with an even bigger community of awesome gamer’s looking to have fun. It’s cool to hear Marcin, Guillaume and Piotr talk about the origins of GOG.com, the ideas the had and what its turned into. Be sure to check out the video to get the full scoop, I can’t wait to see what their 10 year video talks about.
