Digital game distribution and preservation platform GOG is asking players for support going into the future as it expands its efforts.

While I personally pitch in a few bucks every other purchase, I think they could more open and responsive on their preservation efforts.

GOG is nice and all, but it’s a for profit corporation at the end of the day, and I don’t trust corporations not to sell their values down the river when it becomes lucrative for them to do so.

I would far rather support the Internet Archive or something similar.

Yep maybe start a new non-profit if they want to solicit donations.
