The donations are tied to GOG’s Preservation Program, which aims to keep old games running on new hardware even when they’re no longer supported by their original developers

    I love GOG for being a champion of DRM-free games, but this prompt for donations kind of rubs me the wrong way. They’re asking customers to fund their preservation efforts and then pay again for the finished product. This would be better if they followed the crowdfunding model where backers are given rewards. Maybe GOG could announce new (technically old) games they want to preserve, accept crowdfunding and then offer steep discounts (or the actual games) to the backers.
