CD Projekt launches games-on-demand platform
GOG.com to offer DRM-free and newly optimised classic videogames
The Witcher developer CD Projekt is to launch its own games-on-demand service focusing on classic videogame titles.
GOG.com has already lined up titles from Codemasters and Interplay, including Fallout, Operation Flashpoint, Freespace 2 and TOCA Race Driver 3, which it intends to sell for between USD 5.99 and USD 9.99.
"Our main goal is to create a user-friendly site with the best classic PC games for a price that might be considered impossible to achieve," said Adam Oldakowski, managing director of GOG.com.
"The people behind GOG.com are gamers and we all know how difficult it is to find a lot of classic games. So we’ve started building a great games catalogue, gotten rid of the copy protection that gamers hate so much, optimised the games to work on modern operating systems, and made them cheap enough that piracy seems like a rip-off," he added.
A closed beta will begin on August 1.
