We're not big fans of the subscription model and with our, let's call it "original", approach to DRM the choice was obvious. Lukasz Kukawski: We had to choose from the subscription or the pay-per-game business models. Strategy Informer: What is your specific business model for the website? What allows you to sell these games so cheap? Generally we're very happy how the service is received by the users and how we're developing the GOG.com brand :). Aside of that there were lots of smaller updates that improved the whole GOG.com experience. Till today we have done one major update to the service that, among others, added virtual shelf life for the GOG.com games and improved the forums. We receive a lot of feedback from the users and our Dev & Design team is still adding more and more features that came from the community. We want to provide our users with a service that we'd like to use and because we're idealists we're working on every little aspect of the site to be functional, user friendly and look nice :). Lukasz Kukawski: Yes, the service is still in the beta, as every self-respected website we have to stay in the beta for at least for a year or even longer! But seriously, we're working all the time on bringing the best digital distribution service there can be.
Strategy Informer: You’re still officially in the ‘Beta’ stage of the website, how has it gone so far? Generally, GOG.com is the best place for anyone that's looking for PC classics. That's why we guarantee all games from GOG.com will run on your Windows Vista or XP computer! If that's still not impressing you, for $5.99 or $9.99 you're not only getting DRM-free game but you also get bonus content like soundtracks, wallpapers, artworks, guides and more. The games offered on GOG.com are sometimes impossible to get in retail or even on on-line auctions and if you manage somehow to get them it's possible they won't work on modern OS. It's like a CD version of the game, but without the CD. This means after you buy a game on GOG.com you can download it as many times as you want, install it on all computers that you own, burn it to CD and play it without having an internet connection. What is different about GOG.com and other services, aside of the games catalogue, is that we offer DRM-free games. Lukasz Kukawski: Good Old Games is a digital distribution platform dedicated to classic PC games. Strategy Informer: What is the underlying ethos behind Good old Games?
