The newly-independent classic game slingers at GOG would like you to know something: the whole business of keeping old games going only works if you give a damn about it, so please do so.

GOG was responding to comments made by New Blood CEO Dave Oshry, who told RPG Site that GOG's up against the fact that it's "still 1 to 5% of the sales on Steam… I love their preservation efforts and everything they're trying to do, but they need enough people to give a shit, or how long are they even going to be around?"

While GOG didn't quite strike the same tone—not only is it probably bad PR to suggest your storefront is inches from the woodchipper, but in my own chat with the new bosses, they suggested it had been doing pretty well of late—it did agree with Oshry's overall point. "[Oshry's] right about one thing: game preservation only works if people care," wrote GOG on X.
