GOG, founded in 2008, is a digital distribution platform that specializes in vintage and retro games. The company's mission is to provide a platform for gamers to purchase and play classic games, free from digital rights management (DRM) restrictions. In 2019, GOG announced the 1200 Good Old Games collection, a massive library of classic games from the 1980s to the early 2000s. This collection is a result of GOG's efforts to preserve and make accessible a vast array of retro games, many of which were previously unavailable or difficult to obtain.
