      gog-games is a piracy site that hosts torrents for games on GOG. The real GOG isn’t shutting down.

        Edit : The banner was on a different website gog-games.to

        Even on gog-games i can’t see that banner.

        Neither on the official gog.

        In fact I don’t see OP banner on any GOG related website. And not on any site using the same logo at the top.

            Ah it is indeed yet another gog-games domain… Not to confuse with gog-games.org.

            Also while searching for the .to website I just saw a report of a user suspecting a malware infection after downloading a game there.

            Honestly, seeing how many websites share similar domains I would be very cautious browsing them…

            But the banner is indeed real.

      It was a direct download site with links to every GOG game. It was good because it kept all the downloads up to date pretty consistently. Old school, no dealing with torrents unless you want to, just grab it from your browser. It’s still up for a little while at https://gog-games.to/

      Trying games out is absolutely a thing. I’ve bought so many indie games because I tried them out and liked them, that I wouldn’t have taken a chance on.
