That's too bad. At the same time, I never bought anything from them. Clearly, it is my fault. *NM*

For those who don't know, gog.com sold older games for fair prices with no DRM. They had a good selection with quite a few industry partners, too. Not a lot of explanation on their website, just "we can't keep it going like this." It's disappointing to see them go, because they really had a great operation going.
Ah well.
EDIT: Kotaku seems to think it's a marketing stunt to prepare for a relaunch, or some such thing. I'm not so sure, myself. The message on their homepage is pretty clear. If they DO relaunch, I can't imagine it'll be anything like the current site. Kotaku link, for those who want to check it out: <a href="http://kotaku.com/5642141/what-happened-to-good-old-games">here</a>

Edit: Neeeevermind. goodoldgames.com pulls the ol' bait and switch.

Here's hoping they get rolled into Steam, making it an even better platform for PC gaming.

It was the fact that they were alluding to change rather than discontinuance. *NM*
