The digital store GOG has announced the launch of a program aimed at preserving iconic games from the past. Its goal is to support their functionality on PCs now and in the future.
"The Video Game History Foundation has published information that 87% of games created before 2010 are unavailable today. This is a situation we cannot accept. With the help of the gaming community, we are going to bring this figure to zero," stated a GOG representative during the program's announcement.
GOG plans to spend its own resources to ensure the compatibility of games included in the program. This is not a one-time campaign but ongoing support, which includes testing and optimizing projects for future systems.
"If a game is included in our program, it means its version on GOG is the best available," explains the site.
Currently, the collection includes over 100 re-releases available here, featuring titles such as Fallout: New Vegas, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, Resident Evil I-III, and others.
"We would like any game, whose support is no longer provided by its publisher or developer, to become part of our program. And it doesn’t matter to us whether it’s a relatively modern or an older game," declared GOG.
