The Video Game History Foundation had proposed rule changes that would make it easier for researchers and archivist to legally access old games.

    Reminder that the reason that GOG is DRM-free and offers offline installers is because it was started by former pirates (in a sense).

    If there is a game you love, buy it from GOG and archive the offline installer. If it isn’t available on GOG, pirate it. The number of games that have disappeared is too damn high.

      I’d also like to add that the yakuza series used for this picture are great games that now come with DRM, unless you buy them on GOG.

      I bought a big bundle of the games through steam on sale and Yakuza: Like a Dragon came with DRM on steam. Buy on GOG, its the same game but DRM free.

      I should have waited for the GOG sale, now I might pirate it to play the game I bought without DRM.
