A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Is this based on the mostly negative current shit port on steam?

No, this one is the one that replaced that version on Steam, only this one is DRM free on GOG. article

But that's what I'm saying... The previous one on steam was old but reliable... It's now been delisted

This is same version that's currently on steam but DRM free? Cause if so that's the shit port I'm talking about

Not entirely sure. That article I linked reads like they are the same version that got pushed out and replaced the old version, now listed as (2013), which was mostly negative on Steam.

Oof. Well shit then

Oh shit, this is great. I remember seeing FFVII on the Dream List thing GOG has, and thinking "that'll probably never happen".

This game was a huge part of my childhood, it's great to see it being taken care of.

I've been waiting years for this!

The Tsunamods devs (the minds behind the 7th Heaven mod manager) said on their Discord that they're working on mod support for both the new Steam and GOG releases, but that most mods aren't working out of the box at the moment. I don't mind waiting a little bit longer to finally experience the graphical mods and A New Threat, DRM-free.

With that out of the way, I hope for the rest of the series to make it to GOG!
