Compatibility issues are sometimes impossible to avoid, and the mess of patches, tweaks, and emulations they require is not worth the effort. That&#8217;s why every preservation effort is welcome. The video game hobby is as fragile as any other and can be lost if we don&#8217;t take care of it. And <strong>that&#8217;s why GOG, acronym for the Good Old Games store, has decided to demonstrate, once again, that they are the best video game store<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preserve video games today so you can play them forever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/gog-preservation-program#GOG_PRESERVATION_PROGRAM_STORIES_SECTION\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"GOG has announced its Preservation Program\">GOG has announced its Preservation Program<\/a>. <strong>With this program, they aim to maintain the compatibility of games with modern and future systems, ensuring that the games function correctly<\/strong>. They will even resolve historical issues that some of these games suffer from, achieving their ideal form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With almost a hundred video games as part of the program, their idea is to ensure that the games that shaped us can continue to be compatible with our computers. For this, GOG is not only making the games compatible with modern systems and providing dedicated technical support, but they also sell them without DRM. That is, <strong>you can download the games and share them with whomever you want to play them, without any kind of problem<\/strong>. Ensuring that those games are yours, forever, unlike what happens with other stores like Steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GOG Preservation Program - Make Games Live Forever\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IetvbdoeIhg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting aspect of this Preservation Program is how they have created a standard to identify which games are part of this program. <strong>With a label indicating which of them have this support, it is easy to know which games are compatible and will have support in the future<\/strong>. Additionally, being a list that GOG intends to continue expanding in the future, it is an initiative that can only be celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested and this encourages you to buy some games on GOG, we can suggest a few titles. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/fallout_new_vegas_ultimate_edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Fallout: New Vegas<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/dungeon_keeper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Dungeon Keeper Gold\">Dungeon Keeper Gold<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/system_shock_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">System Shock 2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/rollercoaster_tycoon_deluxe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe,\">RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/theme_hospital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"Theme Hospital\">Theme Hospital<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/game\/the_witcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"The Witcher: Enhanced Edition\">The Witcher: Enhanced Edition<\/a> <strong>are all excellent games and, moreover, are now on sale at ridiculously low prices<\/strong>.
