GOG's Preservation Program Is the DRM-Free Store Refocusing on the Classics

This is a good initiative to make it easier to run old games and simplifying the effort involved in making them fit modern monitors and operating systems.

I hope we see them more focused on preserving access to the games too, they've talked before about how until copyright is reformed we need to use the justice system to inherit accounts and the games in them, hopefully some of their efforts are focused on that reform especially now that the EU is investigating whether we should "own" our digital libraries.

In the case of transfer of ownership there's little GOG can do (legally) except lobby. But from a technical standpoint access to the games is guaranteed by the DRM-free part. You can have the binaries free of encumbrances, effectively owning the game (binary). Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
