The good old site for Good Old Games is getting a bit of a renovation. According to Gamespot, they will now be offering newer titles and will be renaming its site to GOG.com. The two debut indie games are Trine and The Whispered World. CD Projekt are sticking to their no DRM stance which will make getting bigger publisher a tricky task. Sure, the big boys may allow their older IP's to be on GOG.com with no DRM, but what about newer titles? So far, GOG.com has hosted The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings as the only newly released title. This would make GOG.com a major contender in the digital distribution market(remember, no unnecessary client required to run the game).
GOG.com managing director, Guillaume Rambourg, told Gamespot "Our plan is not to sell past DLC separately, but rather bundle that content with the main game, so that we can offer a massive package at a good price. Again, our aim is to provide value for money to gamers so that they are happy to buy games from us and therefore never fall on the dark side, by which I mean piracy." This is good news for those that want to run their games without any hassle. Just don't expect to buy all the latest games AAA from GOG.com(you can expect indie titles) just yet. Perhaps I'll be forced to eat my hat regarding this.
