Their tagline is literally ‘you buy it, you own it’. But does it really grants ownership?

    They also do restoration on old games, to make them run fine on todays OS and hardware. Recent example of me: Outcast A new beginning. guess i remembered wrong.

      What? How is a game from 2024 old? Also how is GoG involved in that at all?

      Edit: I’ve been reading on the story of that game, and I think I know what you meant.

      While Outcast: a new beginning is a new game, you probably meant the OG outcast game, which is from 1999. There was a 4 year window where the original game was only available on GoG because they patched a community mod into it. But in 2014 1.1 version was released for Steam with some more improvements, and in 2017 the game was remade. GoG doesn’t seem to have been involved in either of those, only on the original 2010 re-release including the community mod as a built-in.
