GOG launched a new website Friday where users can claim 13 games that have been delisted from other online sales portals for free. In a press release, GOG wrote that with the giveaway, it and the game publishers taking part are “taking a stand against the quiet erasure of creative works from digital shelves.”
GOG’s giveaway–found at the URL FreedomToBuy.games, makes the games available for free to users for the next 48 hours. The titles are mostly sexually explicit and were recently delisted from other digital purchasing sites. GOG’s site also includes an email link for developers or publishers interested in offering their games for free “as part of the protest.”
“As an archival platform dedicated to protecting gaming history, we believe that if a game is legal and responsibly made, players should be able to enjoy it today–and decades from now,” GOG wrote in a press release about the giveaway.
