Based GOG: Hired a PI to track down an off-grid descendant of a game rights owner in the UK

Screenshot 2025-10-19 at 20-24-54 Just in case you thought reviving dead games seemed easy enough GOG had to hire a private investigator to find an IP holder living off the grid for its preservation program.png md5: fa4f7a10...

Yeah I looked everywhere, nothing. Might be some 80s junk.

Their attempts at "good guy GOG" publicity are very funny to me. A little too late for that though.

It was the old Capcom PC ports like Resident Evil and Breath of Fire IV. Not the IP rights themselves but the US/EU distribution rights for those particular versions of the games, they were seemingly lost after Virgin Interactive died and got fed to several companies like EA and fucking Titus. You'd have to sit through that embedded video shown in the OP but it's like 30 minutes long and the GoG guy has a thick accent so fuck that.
Still, gotta give them credit for going out of their way to do that. GoG versions aren't even bad, they're just inherently bad PC ports like other the PS1 games are (MGS1, Rayman 1, etc.).

I doubt it. GOG refuses to touch anything that doesn't have a DOS version.

Wow. Maybe copyright should just expire after 10-20 years instead of letting greedy fucks trade IP and profit off creative works they often didn't make for a hundred years.

>You can give your child a ball you made to play with
>You can take away access after a long while of the child playing with the ball
>It may be a terrible thing to do, but it doesn't mean you should lose rights to the ball that you made by hand
Ensuring people can always play games is nice and all. But it sounds deranged when they act like copyright and property ownership are horrible things. The only terrible part of copyright is how long it lasts after the creators death now due to Disney. We don't have as many legends or stories anymore partially because everything from the modern era is being artificially kept out of public domain when it should enter it by now.

This. Fuck gog, only use anyone could possibly have from them is to easily pirate shit at full bandwidth. Maybe if they actually did something good for once instead of nigger-coded shit like cybertroon or bitcher then you'd have an actual reason to give them your money, but as they are now I'm not paying jack shit for repacks of 30 year old video games that are also available on archive dot org.

But GOG literally takes away people's rights to play games for saying no no words on forums.

People sell games not for their children, but for fame and profit and maybe pride. GOG did this guy a favor putting in so much work to track him down and personally ask.

For a bunch of yuropoors, they surprisingly don't really give a shit about the microcomputer scene.

Every game on GOG is x86 or x86-64, both of which are microcomputer architectures.

Nobody cares about zoomer slang. Microcomputers are any computers that use microprocessors. Just like "retro" and "classic" don't mean old. You're a faggot, a liar, and a zoomer.
>I'm 40
You're an ultrazoomer.
