Why DOOM: The Dark Ages Needs to Be on GOG DOOM: The Dark Ages is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated reimaginings in id Software’s legendary franchise. With its brutal gameplay, medieval setting, and gritty tone, it serves as both a fresh take on the DOOM universe and a return to its raw, hellish roots. A game this bold and stylistically distinct deserves to be preserved and celebrated on a DRM-free platform like GOG. GOG has become a haven for fans of classic and modern PC gaming alike, prioritizing ownership, preservation, and player freedom. DOOM is a cornerstone of PC gaming history, and each new title in the series carries that legacy. By releasing The Dark Ages on GOG, id Software and Bethesda would be giving fans the ability to truly own the game—no launchers, no DRM, just pure DOOM. Given that GOG already supports many entries in the DOOM franchise—DOOM 1, 2, 3, 64, and DOOM (2016)—it makes perfect sense to continue the tradition. With its mix of close-range combat, dark fantasy vibes, and a heavier focus on lore and world-building, The Dark Ages could attract both long-time DOOM fans and newcomers. GOG is the perfect platform for keeping that experience intact and unchained from the limitations of other digital storefronts. If DOOM: The Dark Ages truly aims to be a raw, immersive, and timeless shooter, GOG is where it belongs—right alongside the legends.
DOOM was the second shooter that I played (the 1st was Heretic) and I am a fan ever since. As for DTDA I will wait for it as long as it takes to get it on GOG. How long you ask? Well, these days I'm having fun for the first time with DOOM (2016), recently released on GOG. I also got it dirt cheap (not so important though) and virtually bug free. Why wait so long? Because I hate DRM.
I played Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, and both are amazing. These are both awesome games that I always return to. You guys have most of the Doom catalog, and the community would drool for a DRM-free newer title like DTDA. That'll instantly sell lots of copies. Please add this to GOG's store, and you won't regret it!

From the description I've read, Doom: The Dark Ages seems to be the most straight action-packed and simple modern Doom game. You can just blast your way with just 1 gun that you like (per Jarek The Gaming Dragon) and Dark Ages doesn't force you to combo your way through the game and all those aspects appeal to me more than anything that modern Doom has done since 2016. Please relase The Dark Ages here on GOG!
As long there's Denuvo I'm not buying. I loved the doom series of games but the use of Denuvo is a deal breaker for me. If they remove the DRM or bring it to GOG DRM free I'll buy
With the physical copy not even having the actual game on the disk and the PC version having Denuvo, it is more important than ever to sell a drm free copy of this game on GOG with a proper definition of ownership.
A GOG release is needed for this game as there is no other way to future proof the game for an individual to have full ownership. Enjoyed all of the previous ones and would love to play this one.

CounterSpy
CounterSpyCombining the spy mythology and bold aesthetics of the 1950’s and 1960’s and set during the Cold War, CounterSpy focuses on the rogue third spy agency, C.O.U.N.T.E.R., that keeps the world’s super powers at bay. Just as each side of the ongoing conflict gets close to unleashing a blow of earthshaking proportions, C.O.U.N.T.E.R. jumps into action, stealthily sabotaging their dastardly plans and deceptively maintaining world peace.
