[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children) Well GOG is just the acronym for Good Old Games no ? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RustySharp@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yes, but no. That's the whole point of the rebranding. You will not find the words "Good Old Games" anywhere in their official materials when referring to themselves. They are now "just" GOG. They still use "good old game" as a tag for some of the games they sell. But they will never utter those words when referring to themselves in any capacity. Is it silly? Maybe. But it's a valid marketing strategy. How effective is it? I don't know. Maybe ask BP. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Yeah I searched on their website for a bit and did indeed not find any mention of the old name. permalink fedilink source parent
