That means if you buy a $5 game, Worldbuilders will get $5. GOG will even pay for the transaction fees themselves, using their own money. And even better, 100% of the money collected will come to Worldbuilders. The second way is to buy some games off of the Worldbuilders Fundraising Page on GOG’s website.įor the next week, you can pick three games from a selected list of GOG’s titles and it will only cost you five bucks. I learned to type so I could play that game….Ģ.
I’m not even kiddling, half of my current problem-solving skills came from playing those early Infocom games. You owe it to yourself to try Zork if nothing else. You need some reccomendations? Just scroll up a bit, and you’ll see the begining of my list…. When you sign up for a GOG account through our affiliate link (that was it), they will donate 10% of everything you purchase for the rest of the year to Worldbuilders. One is to simply sign up for an account on GOG.com. There are two ways you can help bring in money to Worldbuilders.ġ. The other reason is that they’ve decided to include Worldbuilders in a fundraiser they’re running this week: from November 5th to November 12th. Well, that’s *one* of the reasons I love them. That’s what GOG does, and that’s why I love them. Want to play Zork III on Windows 8? Go right ahead. They even make sure it’s compatible with current operating systems. GOG has saved this beautiful old game from the dustbin of history. It’s been thirty years since I played it.īut that’s exactly what I’m talking about. There was no internet back then, you figured shit out or you choked on your own frustration…. It took me, quite literally, YEARS to solve. Zork III was the first game that I ever played on my very first computer. The original trilogy and a few of the follow-ups. I’m guessing a lot of you with a history of gaming will feel the same way. You’ll see games that helped make me the person I am today. You’ll see a lot of the games that made me *love* games. Looking through GOG’s inventory, you’ll see a huge piece of my childhood. Games like the original Fallouts (Fallout 1 and 2, not Tactics.) The original Deus Ex. Games I remember 10, even 20 years after I played them. Looking through their stock, I see pretty much every game that I *loved* to play back in the day. I think of GOG as the place that saves cool old games from the abyss. They sell games that you can download off the internet.īoy, that doesn’t do the job of explaining how cool they are at *all.* This year, companies have started to seek *us* out, looking to have superhero team-ups up for fundraising purposes. We’ve brought in competent, organized staff to replace my incompetent, disorganized self, and we started seeking out corporate sponsorships.
Last year, for example, we had to design inventory software for all the books we were giving away as prizes. As y’all know, Worldbuilders is steadily growing into something much bigger than I ever dreamed.
