QuoteGOG has announced a new game preservation program where it will use its own resources to preserve titles that are no longer supported by their original maker.
GOG will attempt to keep the game as close to its original state as possible. If necessary, it will add quality-of-life improvements such as support for modern controllers, localization, and cloud saves.
What exactly is "new" with this program? They have done these exact things since the beginning, otherwise some games wouldn't have worked on modern platforms.
