Seems like GOG have really managed to pull Sony onboard with more games coming. They've confirmed both God of War and UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection are coming to GOG. No actual date has been given but the store pages are up, so if you prefer GOG then you'll be able to get even more great games sometime soon and this comes shortly after the GOG release of Days Gone too.
Additionally GOG are giving away The Whisperer, a short story-driven point & click game set in Lower Canada at the beginning of the 19th century. You can claim a copy until November 1st, 2 PM UTC.

Oh, Playstation published games making it to GOG again. That's a good trend. I think previous one was Horizon Zero Dawn?

But are the games going to be DRM-free? GOG has relaxed their policies for DRM over time after all.
How has GoG relaxed their policies, do you have an example? Every single game I've bought, installs with a standalone installer and requires no internet activation or connection to play them. They still state that their games are DRM free, everywhere I look, too.
P.S. I don't do multiplayer or GoG Galaxy

Yeah, I wonder that too. I think some Galaxy specific rewards are treated as being something of the sort. But at least for Cyberpunk 2077 you can simply unlock them using Cyber Engine Tweaks plugin and some codes.

There was some controversy with one of the Hitman games. I think it was the third one.
This, "Hitman Game of the Year Edition" in 2021? If so, yes, they backpedaled and removed it from the store because parts of it required online play.
I can't say I like the initial arrogant stance though, which makes it not such an innocent mistake. Some asshole tried to work that in. Also, the "review bombing" accusation wasn't justified because it was obviously a lot of people angry about the same thing, not review bombing. I would say those reviews are fair game, because you're reviewing the product as purchased on the service in addition to the game itself.

Inappropriate game for the service. That was a mistake that they corrected. Offered refunds, pulled the game from the store, and apologized for, though. They haven't changed their policy. I'm glad of that, because it's the main reason I buy games from GoG.
Is this the extent of it, or has there been more loose interpretations of their policy?

i dont care about those games, but the fact they will be on a drm-free-only platform entice me to purchase, to help spread the message.
speaking of it, its hard to believe they came from an complete proprietary drm-friendly platform to gog

I'm seriously wondering what you think... Because at my knowledge none of these games have PC ports... It's just a completely different thing than just release an existing version on a DRM-Free store.
I don't think that will happen at all.

Because at my knowledge none of these games have PC ports...I expected them to do ports of the older stuff before porting the more recent ones, myself. It was quite surprising to me when that wasn't the course they took!

I'm not surprised, doing a remake could cost a lot of money I think, and not sure if the sales would be enough for them.Because at my knowledge none of these games have PC ports...I expected them to do ports of the older stuff before porting the more recent ones, myself.

That's why I was surprised.

Graphics API is Sony specific. That's what would probably need most work as usual.

I still find it weird how they went straight to porting the most-recent titles, though. But, whatever, it's a good thing!

Until relatively recently, nobody ever thought these games would come to PC, yet now they are not only on Steam but GOG too. I do not see why you think what I said is farfetched.I look forward to Demon's Souls and Bloodborne in the future.I got excited. I was hoping for the Good Old Games in both those series.
