'''[http://www.gog.com/ GOG.com]''' is a website which sells PC video games and movies. They used to be called '''Good Old Games''', because that's what they started out selling: beloved classics from various studios' back catalogs. They now sell games that aren't so old, and movies as well (though their movie catalog is heavily game-oriented, including [[The Gamers]] and the like), hence the name change. They're known for not including any [[DRM]] or [[Region Coding]] in any of their downloads.

GoG was founded sometime in February 22, 2008, by Marcin Iwiṅski and Michal Kiciṅski after when they founded [[CD Projekt Red|CD Projekt]].
Sometime in March 2012, GOG began selling more recent games, like [[Alan Wake]] and the [[Metro]] series. This is part of them branching out and opening their store to both AAA and indie video game companies.

October 2012, GOG.com announced that they'll bring their DRM-free games to OS X, Linux, and Mac. Also, gathering feedback from their user wishlist and the most demand features, like the native support for Linux games, which is voted by their customers. These features were added as well as support for the Linux and Ubuntu in during the fall of 2014.
In August 27, 2014, GOG added DRM-free movie distribution to their service.
