? GOG is a drm free storefront. Doesn’t have anything to do with the age of the game. Plenty of new releases launch on gog alongside steam/egs/Ms
GOG stands for "Good Old Games" bro, TYL
No it doesn't. It used to. They dropped the old GOG branding back in 2012.
So what does it stand for now champ
Nothing
"On 27 March 2012, Good Old Games announced that it was branching out to feature "AAA" and independent titles in addition to older games. The site was rebranded to GOG.com."
In that user's defense, GOG does stand for "good old games" and repackaging/fixing those has been one of their biggest accomplishments.
GOG hasn't been Good Old Games since 2012. Yeah, they aren't really screaming it from the mountains, but they rebranded to just GOG.com then: https://web.archive.org/web/20120329190108/https://www.gog.com/news/bigger_fresher_newer_see_whats_new_on_gogcom
Huh, TIL.
