GOG Introduces DRM-Free Movie Store

Robag's picture

Our goal is to offer you cinema classics as well as some all-time favorite TV series with no DRM whatsoever, for you to download and keep on your hard drive or stream online whenever you feel like it. We talked to most of the big players in the movie industry and we often got a similar answer: “We love your ideas, but we do not want to be the first ones. We will gladly follow, but until somebody else does it first, we do not want to take the risk”. DRM-Free distribution is not a concept their lawyers would accept without hesitation.

We kind of felt that would be the case and that it’s gonna take patience and time to do it, to do it, to do it right. That’s quite a journey ahead of us, but every gamer knows very well that great adventures start with one small step. So why not start with something that feels very familiar? We offer you a number of gaming and Internet culture documentaries – all of them DRM-Free, very reasonably priced, and presenting some fascinating insight into topics close to a gamer’s heart. Videos are mostly 1080p (~8GB for a 90 minute film) and can be acquired for about $6. They’re using h.264/mp4 and not VP9/Matroska, but you can’t have everything ;). If you don’t want to download that much data, it looks like all of the videos are also available in 720p and 576p.

watched KOK a while ago on TV

if its the show i saw that record holder is a total dick. kinda felt sorry for the other guy after watching it he had to go through so much(they took apart his machine and all sorts of stuff) and still didn’t get his record and when he finally got it at some event the old record holder sent in a tape beating it and it was accepted without question(memory might be a bit foggy was a year or so ago)

if it was me id tell them where to shove their world record

the movie choices are not exactly movies their kinda like small documentries. the indie game the movie is ok same with the pirate bay one. good game is all about dota2 not seeing king of kong on the list(worth a watch too)

i wish GOG gave out steam keys like humble does would make it much better its one of the very few reasons why i dont buy off GOG
