Today European publisher/distributor CD Projekt revealed a new site called Good Old Games. GOG will allow gamers to purchase old games online. The best part is, the games are DRM-free.
According to GOG: “You won’t find any intrusive copy protection in our games; we hate draconian DRM schemes just as much as you do, so at GOG.com you don’t just buy the game, you actually own it. Once you download a game, you can install it on any PC and even re-download it whenever you want, as many times as you need, and you can play it without an internet connection.”
You might be thinking, “Yeah, well they probably only have crap games.” Wrong. From the images on their site, they will be offering the Fallout series, MDK and the Freespace series. Three of my favorites. According to the site, GOG will be selling these games for $5.99 and $9.99. Not a bad deal at all. The service goes live in September, just in time to give you younger gamers a chance to catch up for Fallout 3.
Today Microsoft released a Content License Transfer Tool, which allows gamers to move videos and games that were purchased off of Xbox Live Marketplace to other consoles.
