The conversation around game preservation has gained significant traction lately, particularly in light of movements like Stop Killing Games and the recent removal of various titles from platforms such as itch.io and Steam. Gamers are increasingly aware of the potential pitfalls associated with digital ownership, prompting a response from GOG, a platform dedicated to preserving classic games. In a timely gesture, GOG is offering a selection of 13 games for free, but the window to claim them is limited to just 48 hours.
A Commitment to Preservation
GOG, originally known as Good Old Games, has carved out a niche in the digital distribution landscape by specializing in DRM-free titles. This approach grants gamers greater freedom regarding their game files, eliminating the need for platform-specific authentication and allowing installations across multiple devices without restrictions.
The platform has garnered attention for its GOG Preservation Program, which aims to provide access to older games that may no longer be available elsewhere. Notable titles like Dino Crisis and Star Trek: Judgment Rites exemplify this commitment. GOG also encourages community engagement through a wishlist feature, enabling fans to request specific games and vote on upcoming projects. Currently, the demand for Diablo 1, 2, and 3 is high, with Pokemon Black & White trailing closely behind.
Every Game Included in the GOG Free Game Offer & How to Claim Them
In a proactive move to address recent delistings, GOG has launched a new initiative called FreedomToBuy.games. To celebrate this launch, the platform is giving away 13 titles for free, available for claim until August 4th. A countdown timer on the website helps users keep track of the remaining time to take advantage of this offer.
The list of games available for free includes several titles that have faced recent delistings, particularly in the NSFW category:
- Leap of Love
- Being a DIK – Season 1
- Leap of Faith
- POSTAL 2
- House Party
- HuniePop
- Lust Theory
- Agony + Agony Unrated
- Treasure of Nadia
- Summer’s Gone – Season 1
- Fetish Locator Week One
- Helping the Hotties
- Sapphire Safari
Importantly, this offer does not require users to claim all 13 games; interested players can select individual titles. To claim a game, simply visit the FreedomToBuy.games offer page and click the “Claim Now” button. A code will be provided for the selected game or games.
To add the games to your library, a GOG.com account is necessary, but signing up is free, making it accessible for first-time users. Once the 48-hour promotional period concludes, these NSFW titles will remain available for purchase through FreedomToBuy.games. Additionally, publishers have the option to contribute more games to the site, suggesting that the library may expand in the future.
