GOG strengthens its commitment to preserving video games by becoming a member of a European game archivist organization

GOG has aligned with the European Federation of Game Archives, Museums, and Preservation Projects (EFGAMP), the largest collective in Europe dedicated to the preservation of "video games as cultural heritage."

This collaboration includes associations such as The Video Game Museum in Rome, MO5.COM in France, Computerspielemuseum in Berlin, The Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision, and Embracer Games Archive. GOG noted that joining EFGAMP is "a significant step in linking private enterprises with cultural bodies throughout Europe."

Through this partnership, GOG seeks to bolster its presence as a prominent advocate in the field of game preservation and assert its dedication to this cause.

Maciej Gołębiewski, GOG's managing director, stated, “GOG was founded with the goal of preserving video games. Our focus has always been on conserving classic games for future generations.”

"In the last ten years, we have refined our skills in this field. The GOG Preservation Program, which ensures that over 100 games remain compatible and includes numerous improvements, exemplifies our dedication. We were thrilled by the positive feedback the Program received from players, partners, and the wider gaming industry."

Andreas Lange, COO of EFGAMP, commented, “GOG provides a unique viewpoint to EFGAMP as a leader in European digital game distribution.

"Their skill in bringing classic games to current audiences enhances the efforts of our existing members by adding further digital expertise to our collective work.

"GOG's capacity to distribute classic games globally makes them an excellent asset to EFGAMP, whose members largely originate from the cultural heritage sector."
