The plan is to have those stories live on once the game is out, GOG says in the FAQ. \u201cWe\u2019re working on a solution to migrate Stories to GOG.COM game cards once the game is released: we won\u2019t let them get lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">GOG recently started its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/en\/gog-preservation-program\">GOG Preservation Program<\/a> to maintain compatibility for games that would otherwise struggle to run on modern systems.

The company says its goal is for all games to eventually be a part of this program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Along with the release of GOG Dreamlist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/game\/dino_crisis\">Dino Crisis<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gog.com\/game\/dino_crisis_2\">Dino Crisis 2<\/a> are now available, and they\u2019re both included in the Preservation Program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/news\/515375\/gog-dreamlist-vote-classic-games\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GOG, a digital storefront for classic and DRM-free PC games, is debuting a new tool for users to vouch and vote on what they\u2019d like to see released next.
