That is obvious The CD Projekt RED, ie GOG, is not experiencing its best moments. The huge breakthrough after the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 resulted, among other things, in a severe blow to the company’s finances, to the point that even its own shareholders considered taking legal action against the company. 2021 was undoubtedly a very bad year for Polish society, a trend that seems to be determined in 2022 to reverse.

The main example of this is, of course, the news that the studio is already working on a reboot of its successful saga The Sorcerer, but also the good news they have posted on their store’s blog today, which confirms this. GOG will not only focus on classic games, but will try to bring them back to the forefront..

A sensational report, as I said, because it clarifies the doubts that arose at the end of last year, when the CD Projekt RED stated that GOG attributes losses to the group and that it must adjust its business model as a result, focusing on a very fine-tuned selection of titles that it was possible to buy in the store.

Immediately, and as we told you then, the warning voice began to spread on the Internet, because the movement to set aside the classic game (or at least a large part of it) focus only on a much smaller selectionmany of us have feared that GOG would cease to be a place to look for the games we had enjoyed a few years or a few decades ago so that we could get them legally and enjoy them again.

In today’s paper CD Project RED states that “One of the things we would like to do this year is go back to our classic game rootswith the knowledge and experience we have gained during the existence of GOG«. A text in which the company recalls the origin of the name of the Good Old Games store and in which it also states that it plans to pay more attention to them, to make them more visible and thus to redeploy the platform “in the best place for classic PC games«.

To this end, after reviewing everything the GOG has done so far, they declare that their plan is to return the focus to the classics, in what they call “revival of the concept of good old games«. And the first step in this direction was to create the brand name Old Good Game, which has been awarded so far just over 500 games curated by GOGand which meet certain conditions which make them worthy of such recognition.

It is true that the label thus raised to distinguish these titles does not seem to be a revolutionary invention. However, and from what we can find out from his blog post, really they seem to be well aware of the value of their original proposal, classic games and the value that users attach to them. Not to mention, of course, that it’s a niche under their control, much calmer waters than wanting to focus on rivalry with Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Be that as it may, This is great news for those of us who love classic games And just as I expressed my concern at what appeared to be a change of direction on the part of GOG, today I am celebrating this change of direction, thanks to which the first G and O in the name of the store shine a lot more light than what they did. lately.
