The campaign was designed to save all future games, The Crew was just a useful catalyst to launch from, since it was a very visible example of what they were fighting against.
But yes, saving games is pretty minor compared to stopping literal fascism. It’s just a shame that PirateSoftware fucked the campaign so hard, and stopped a big influencer from basically pressing the ‘win’ button by talking about it.

I don’t know. Fascism hates art, and capitalism only sees value in it when it’s making them money/giving it power, and capitalism and fascism are very closely related. Therefore it’s actually a part of stopping fascism, or at least stopping them from getting what they want entirely.
If you’re specifically talking about The Crew, you’re missing the point. If you’re being flippant, and mean online games in general, God forbid people take an interest in the health of their hobbies.
There can be multiple problems worth fighting for at once. Gaming is an escape for many from the harsh reality we all live in and I also just generally think art should be preserved as much as possible.
Oh hell no. Valve are evil, like any other corporate monstrosity. It's not that I want GOG to "stay in their lane" as a bad thing. I want them to stay away from the morasse of crap that other sites like them have become. There are game modding communities all over the Internet, we don't need an abandonware site that put on airs to become part of the "modern marketplace".
We very much do need GOG to be competitive with the market leader but with the primary selling point of DRM-free, yes. And is it a coincidence that the beginning of your username is the same as that awful YouTuber?
We're going to have to settle for disagreeing on this. I just want a place to get stable abandonware, not a misstep into another place begging to take real money for digital data.
CD Projekt saw potential to look back at their distribution days to offer DRM-free versions of classic games through digital distribution, ... They founded a new subsidiary, Good Old Games, to serve this purpose in early 2008.
It already is a modern marketplace and many modern games release on it. Just because you only use it for old games doesn’t mean it’s all it’s ever allowed to be. They’ve been expanding their gog program more broadly to cover more of their audience, and a mod support like this makes it very easy for players of old games to release modified versions of those games, instead of needing to look for moddb or nexusmods.
How many people play DOS2 with EE? How many people play civ5 with the 5.5 mod? It’s just common sense to me that they’d set up something for people to keep old games fresh via modding, and it’s not even a steam workshop like system so I’m not sure what steam has to do with anything. The mods they’ve showcased are full overhauls.
Been keeping an eye on this for years, and every trailer it looks better and better. Looks like they really have found more of their own identity by now. Very curious to try it.
