GOG seems to be considering paid membership option (lemmy.zip)

Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they're determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were

  • a tool for backing up offline installers
  • ability to install previous versions of a game
  • extra insight into the preservation work they're doing.
  • voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

And others that I can't remember.

When did they take it away?

I'm not sure, but years ago, at least. Likely to save on server hosting fees. If you go to download the installer now, you only see the latest version, but you used to see every version.

Oh, I thought you could still download older versions under download offline installer
