The DRM-free initiative.

We've always been on a mission to offer you games with no DRM protection whatsoever. Today, we want to start taking things a step further, help out people who bought a retail game with DRM, then ended up stuck with something rather unplayable. We can help you enjoy your favorites once again, and this time around, enjoy them DRM-free!

There are countless retail games out there that don’t work for various reasons: unsupported types of DRM, system incompatibilities, broken features. There's too many too count. Starting today, owners of several retail titles originally sold with DRM can get a digital copy of their game completely free at GOG.com: with no DRM as always, compatible with modern operating systems, and with plenty of goodies to boot.
<span class="bold">Reclaim these games, DRM-FREE:</span>




Editions released worldwide:
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Editions released only in CIS & Russian territories:
-Mount & Blade: Warband
-Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword
-Eador: Genesis




To reclaim your game, just use one of the keys that came with your box. You can find more detailed information on the Reclaim your games, DRM-FREE! page to see if your key is compatible and just where to go from there.

This is just the start of something much bigger. We plan to add more titles to the list in the future - it's a long and complicated process that involves negotiating with multiple parties and a scavenger hunt to retrieve forgotten key-databases - but then, we are on a mission here, we'll do whatever it takes.

deonast: Since I actually got rid of my discs when I bought a GOG copy but still happend to have the CD key written down in my discards games list

Present for someone who doesn't own it

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow Of Chernobyl
CD Key: <sorry has now been redeemed>

It works I went so far as to see that it resolved, just didn't claim it as I own it already.

Enjoy.

amok: im not quite sure that gOg implemented this to give out free games....
Says on the GOG page FAQ
" I bought one of the games before you launched this page, can I get a refund?

As usual, we can't offer refunds on account of giveaways or promotions. You can always give your spare key to a friend, and point them to this page"

So I assume it is ok, otherwise I wouldn't have offered it.

Nice initiative, GOG!
so M&B:Warband reclaim keys just for Russian region?
Very nice iniative. Unfortunately most games I have in retail are not yet present on gog or I already own them on gog :) I can only hope that the rest of my retail games will arrive here in the future for me to be able to use this awsome offer.

Can you check if you received a receipt with 9.19€ listed too?

AMReese: what's stopping people from using keygens and claiming games that they didn't actually buy?
the database containing legit keys and not keygens?

ThePunishedSnake: Can you check if you received a receipt with 9.19€ listed too?
Same here, for all games. At least we got a discount on all of those. :P

Yeah, no harm done to my bank account though.

ThePunishedSnake: Yes.
Then the redemption is probably treated like a purchase and gives you a receipt :) The important thing is that the game is on your account :)
Yeah, I redeemed mine for clear sky and got a receipt as if I paid with the current price. Scared me for a moment... :). Usually it just does some promo that makes it 0.00 or whatnot.
