The question has come up before whether GOG.com is selling unlicensed "abandonware".

Apparently they do have licensing agreements in place for the games they offer, so discuss to your heart's content.   :cheers:

I am trying out GoG. for the first time. I bought 7 games just to try.
#1) Arcade Paradice (no it is not the web sight) $4.99
#2) Blocky Farm $0.99
#3) Daymare: 1998 $ 2.99   
#4) Elderborn $ 2.99   
#5) Epic Pinball: The Complete Collection $ 1.19   
#6) ITORAH Save the World Edition $ 2.99
#7) Townsmen _ A Kingdom Rebuilt $ 3.99   

   Subtotal (excl. tax):   $ 20.13   
Sales tax (KY):   $ 1.21   
Order total:   $ 21.34   

I bought these games Oct 28th. Yesterday I could only see I purchased them. that was it. Today I thought I would contact them butI saw that I could install the games. :dunno
I guess it took a couple days for the credit card to pay?  :dunno
7 games for $21.34 not bad.
I did search cheapest listed first. I am not a big PC gaming person. I played Arcades and console's

you own these games. There installed on to the "C:" drive
I saw a YouTube Vid of a man burning his games to Micro SD cards.
He made the back ups look like small console carts..
Honestly That video is how I learned of GoG

In the past I've bought Elechead and Limbo from GoG. Should check out some of the newer games.
