![]() ![]() ![]() This gives even more credit to us than the GPL requires, and is a very nice thing from them. After some negotiations, which I must admit, took number of months (about 10 years ago), they started marking every game which is using ScummVM as such (take a look in the compatibility details).Compare it to weeks of persuading other companies which use ScummVM, and the sad fact that they keep "forgetting" it with almost every update or new game release. To give you an example, it took them about 40 minutes to add ScummVM sources to Mac/Linux releases of Blade Runner, and it was just an overlook, as it was right away in the Windows package. They never try to play with us by means of tampering with our copyrights. They always comply to GPL, that is, they put relevant license files and provide ScummVM sources.This is probably the most important aspect for us, as we doing the work out of love for those games. This has been running for many years now, even before they started bundling ScummVM. When our affiliate link is used, we get a small commission. The things which we are getting for a long while are: So far we did not get any special payments for specific work or games. ![]() Yes, I can confirm everything criezy told. Thank you, sir! I'll relay this to my people. The only thing we ask from GOG is to comply with the GPL v2 license under which we develop ScummVM, and in my opinion anything more is a bonus. And while I can't speak for everybody in the team I think most of us are just happy that the game is available again to buy legally so that more people can enjoy playing it. And we also didn't own or make this game in the first place.Īnd second like most of the other games we reimplemented we did it for the fun and so that others can enjoy playing the game again on modern platforms (although I should point out that I did not personally work on the Blade Runner support). But I am not sure this is really relevant anyway.įirst I think you should not underestimate the effort needed to untangle the legal situation of the game. I know we get some money from the purchases made with our referral links, but I don't know how much that amounts to, and if we get additional donations (besides some free keys). I don't know the details of the deal we have with GOG. ![]()
