Good Old Games (GOG)

GOG is a Steam-like video games platform without any Digital Rights Management: games you buy are yours forever, no one can take them away from you.

GOG has become well-known for selling classic older games that have been fixed to work on modern computers, but they also sell some more modern titles too.

There’s a games management app called GOG Galaxy, but it’s totally optional. GOG games can be bought and used without GOG Galaxy.

There’s also a service called GOG Connect which lets you transfer certain games you already bought on Steam onto GOG free of charge.

Itch.io

Itch.io sells games without DRM, so you can buy games and keep them forever.

It specialises in games from independent publishers, and encourages a community of game makers and their fans. It also sells a certain amount of other media such as eBooks.

For those who want it, Itch.io also offers an optional open source app too.

Humble Store

The charity initiative Humble Bundle also has an online store that sells both DRM and DRM-free games (the link below goes to their DRM-free section).

The store’s games are often sold in co-operation with other platforms (including Steam and GOG), but by buying them through Humble a portion of the sales go to charity.

Open Source Games

Although they are relatively rare, there are some good games available as open source projects. This means they’re available without any kind of DRM restrictions, and free of charge too.
