Instead of “good guys”, feels more like “drunk guys”. They removed the games from everywhere, and even the moderators from GOG’s forum, despite usually trying to be as silent as possible for any matters (specially thorny ones), seemed at loss when that happened. And now, out of the blue, EGS granted permission to use Internet Archive’s uploads for the games.
Valve also gave away HL2 for free on steam, for anyone who didn’t have it. What exactly are you demanding above that? To be paid to get it or something?
Dang good guys, Epic. Rare to see anything good from the big gaming companies.
Valve, you’re up…you just celebrated 20 years of Half Life 2…

Allow the Internet Archive to preserve a DRM free version. Forever and irrevocably.
All of Half Life 2 is DRM free on Steam.
Quite a lot of games are, as long as their publisher didn’t require DRM.
