GOG<\/a> digital store has confirmed that today, Thursday, November 5, it will hold its first showcase. To celebrate its eighteenth anniversary, they have promised to begin a new chapter for the store, presenting new features and new games<\/strong>. Although they haven’t specified what exactly we can expect, they have given us a time and a place: 6 PM GMT\/UTC, 7 PM in mainland Spain, on their YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

The first event from a major store<\/h2>\n\n

GOG is a digital store that has been operating for 18 years and competes in the same market as Steam or the Epic Games Store<\/a>. As a third option, its main draw is its more carefully curated catalog compared to other platforms, and all its games are DRM-free<\/strong>. This means that you can copy them onto a USB or a CD and share them between PCs without any issues, which means you truly own them, unlike the other digital stores.<\/p>\n\n

This has made GOG a standard-bearer for digital rights. It puts a strong emphasis on genuine ownership of video games and on their preservation. This is especially true since they started focusing on rescuing old games<\/a> that, because of their age, aren’t optimized to be played on current PCs<\/strong>. That gives them a second life.<\/p>\n\n

So far they have rescued games as popular as the first three Resident Evil<\/a> games, the first two Dino Crisis games, or the first Diablo<\/a>. And thanks to its voting system, the community can ask GOG to bring back whatever games they want<\/strong>. That gives us an idea of the games we might see this afternoon in the showcase. Currently among the most requested games are Black & White, the first two Silent Hill games, Fable 2, and The Simpsons: Hit & Run, so it wouldn’t be surprising if one of them made an appearance in this first and very special GOG Showcase.<\/p>\n\n
