GoG & DRM Interview

Good Old Games and the "idiocy" of DRM on Ars Technica is an interview with Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director at Good Old Games. and Michal Kicinski. CEO of CD Projekt. about GOG.com, CD Projekt's online home of good old games. They discuss various aspects of this DRM-free marketplace, including the difficult time they've had convincing publishers of the benefits of offering their software without copy protection: "Just like most innovative projects, GOG.com needs to overcome some stereotypes and obstacles which exist in the gaming industry. It's very hard for us—entrepreneurs who work hard to make a profit—to understand the corporate approach. We are able to show publishers that selling DRM-free old games will bring them additional revenue without extra costs, and the best part is that we can handle the organizational stuff."
