GOG.com is a website which sells PC video games and movies. They used to be called Good Old Games, because that's what they started out selling: beloved classics from various studios' back catalogs. They now sell games that aren't so old, and movies as well (though their movie catalog is heavily game-oriented, including The Gamers and the like), hence the name change. They're known for not including any DRM or Region Coding in any of their downloads.

Truly gamer friendly DRM-free online gaming platform. Classic and new PC games, great offers, friendly staff, awesome community!

GoG was founded sometime in February 22, 2008, by Marcin Iwiṅski and Michal Kiciṅski after when they founded CD Projekt.

GOG.com provides examples of the following tropes:
  • Allegedly Free Game: Some of the games that are in GOG are these.
  • The Artifact: GoG's Tumblr blog is this.
  • Artifact Title:
    • In March 2012, Good Old Games changed their name to GOG.com and announced that they would feature "AAA new and newer titles" in their store.
    • When GOG, along with Steam, began to sell films (recent ones too).
  • Ascended Extra: In a Divinity: Original Sin 2 contest, fans voted for Eithne, to represent GoG out of all the other heroes.
  • Digital Distribution
  • DRM: Defied -- no DRM to be found anywhere, on any of their downloads.
  • No Export for You: Defied. (Region-coding usually isn't done with PC video games, but movie disks and disk players are, so this is more notable for their movie selections.)
    • Played straight with certain old video games, they can only be found in GOG. Mainly because the console and/or the original software to run the game is now gone.
