They were Good Old Games for about 4 years until 2012, when they started selling modern games and rebranded to just GOG, dropping the whole "old games" moniker.
(Yeah, I'm also old. I was there when they rebranded, but I thought it was recently, around 2020!)
stores from EA, Ubisoft or Epic
Better yet, games

Could you please be more specific? It's been 13 years. Maybe in another year?
As a parent, I reckon a voluntary system like this (if I understand correctly) could be very handy. I could create a child account and automatically get age gated content for it.
And when said child is smart enough to circumvent the system, then they deserve whatever content they manage to get their hands on. I'd be so proud.
But I'm sure capitalism would find a way to abuse and misuse the system for gains.
Ah, you mean the sanctity being championed by their three-times-married dear leader?
Yeah and it's also bizarre that these companies released a native version, then... not test it? Why even bother?
You know how people used to put pictures of their loved ones in a locket, or in their wallets, or as a background pic on their phones? That's what they were supposed to be. (As told by a catholic friend)
I can accept that. I have one of my kids in the car cause I used to drive like a maniac. It's a constant reminder of the kind of person I should be while driving.
But of course, people will be people, ignoring what they're told and doing whatever the hell they like... "This statue cried blood, let's pray to it!" (and ignore the leaking toilet upstairs)
Two things can be wrong at the same time. Even 5. Or, looking at the world right now, everything can be wrong all at once
There's a missing implied knowledge they forgot to mention: ProtonDB tracks games on Steam. So it's 90% of windows games available on Steam (without a native Linux build)
... when charged particles move faster than the speed of light
So that got me curious, and found this
nothing travels faster than light in vacuum, but light can be slowed down and something can travel faster than this "slower" light
Somehow I've gone through decades of life without knowing this..
Oh, you guys use little endian!
Yes, but no. That's the whole point of the rebranding. You will not find the words "Good Old Games" anywhere in their official materials when referring to themselves. They are now "just" GOG.
They still use "good old game" as a tag for some of the games they sell. But they will never utter those words when referring to themselves in any capacity.
Is it silly? Maybe. But it's a valid marketing strategy. How effective is it? I don't know. Maybe ask BP.
