The DRM-free initiative.
We've always been on a mission to offer you games with no DRM protection whatsoever. Today, we want to start taking things a step further, help out people who bought a retail game with DRM, then ended up stuck with something rather unplayable. We can help you enjoy your favorites once again, and this time around, enjoy them DRM-free!
There are countless retail games out there that don’t work for various reasons: unsupported types of DRM, system incompatibilities, broken features. There's too many too count. Starting today, owners of several retail titles originally sold with DRM can get a digital copy of their game completely free at GOG.com: with no DRM as always, compatible with modern operating systems, and with plenty of goodies to boot.
Reclaim these games, DRM-FREE:
Editions released worldwide:
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Editions released only in CIS & Russian territories:
-Mount & Blade: Warband
-Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword
-Eador: Genesis
To reclaim your game, just use one of the keys that came with your box. You can find more detailed information on the Reclaim your games, DRM-FREE! page to see if your key is compatible and just where to go from there.
This is just the start of something much bigger. We plan to add more titles to the list in the future - it's a long and complicated process that involves negotiating with multiple parties and a scavenger hunt to retrieve forgotten key-databases - but then, we are on a mission here, we'll do whatever it takes.
they are also doing WItcher 1 and 2 ... if you have those games on DVD medium they will give you the DRM free GOG directors cut Uncensored Enchanted edition ... yes those version are named like that
I've read on the GOG.com forum that some people were successful in reclaiming Steam keys of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, even though they are not supposed to work. You could try it if you own the games on Steam.
I had a DVD of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky from an old GPU I bought, I put in its key when I first heard of that. Its key worked, which was great because that DVD had terrible DRM, the cracks for it were buggy, and I remember it being so hard to find the right patch to update the game (some malicious, some labeled with wrong version). GOG version seems to of solved everything
