GOG announces it is now part of the
European
Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects (EFGAMP), an
expansion of its
Preservation Program and overall commitment to safeguarding the history of
videogames. "GOG brings a unique perspective to EFGAMP as a European leader in
digital game distribution," explains Andreas Lange, COO of EFGAMP. "As GOG
distributes classic games worldwide, GOG is a fantastic addition to EFGAMP,
whose members are primarily rooted in the cultural heritage sector." Here's

Founded in 2012, EFGAMP represents more than 20 heritage
institutions and other organizations, ranging from grassroots initiatives to
national libraries, that collect and preserve digital games. Its members include
renowned members such as VIGAMUS — The Video Game Museum in Rome, MO5.COM in
France, Computerspielemuseum in Berlin, The Netherlands Institute for Sound &
Vision, and Embracer Games Archive. GOG is the first Polish institution to join,
marking a significant step in bridging the private sector with cultural
organizations across Europe.
