GOG (Good Old Games), one of the world’s most well-known digital game distribution platforms and known for its completely DRM-free (no digital rights management) gaming policy, is officially announcing a very important step that will delight gamers in Turkey.

The platform, which is a subsidiary of CD Projekt, introduces the Turkish Lira (TRY) currency unit and the corresponding regional pricing support for users in Turkey.

This attack, which comes in a period of fluctuations in exchange rates and global platforms withdrawing from the Turkish market or switching to dollar exchange rates, promises a much more accessible and budget-friendly gaming experience for local players.

Without spoiling its original vision, the platform now offers its DRM-free game library to the community in Turkey with a completely localized process.

Local Pricing Move in the Digital Games Market

In recent years, the pricing policies implemented by global digital game stores in the Turkish market have changed greatly.

The fact that many giant platforms have terminated TL support and switched to pricing entirely in dollars makes it very difficult for Turkish players to access original games in terms of cost.

During this period, GOG follows an opposite strategy, allowing players in Türkiye to shop directly with Turkish Lira.

This attack is not just about showing the currency unit as “TL” on the screen; It also brings a regional pricing algorithm.

Thanks to regional pricing, many independent and AAA quality products sold with high price tags in the global market are still priced in accordance with the economic conditions and purchasing power in Turkey.

What is DRM-Free Policy and Why is it Valuable?

The biggest feature that distinguishes the GOG platform from other competitors in the industry is its DRM-free gaming approach, which it has not compromised on since its establishment.

Games purchased from standard digital stores usually require an internet connection or verification software in the background.

This causes you to not be able to access your games when there is a problem with the platform’s servers or your internet is interrupted.

If you purchase a game from GOG with Turkish Lira, the game becomes yours as soon as you download it to your computer. You can install and play your game as you wish without needing a random internet connection, having to run a client, or an activation code.

The company particularly emphasizes that it will fully preserve this liberal structure and continue to respect the rights of Turkish players while localizing in the Turkish market.

CD Projekt Guarantee and Extensive Game Library

GOG operates as a module of CD Projekt Group, the umbrella company behind giant productions such as The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, which are well-known in the gaming world.

This maximizes the reliability and game diversity of the platform.

The store’s library includes not only contemporary products, but also thousands of classic old games that have written their names in golden letters in computer history and are compatible with today’s operating systems.

With the start of the Turkish Lira support, local players can access both the legendary series developed by CD Projekt and the nostalgic and current games of hundreds of different publishers much more easily.

This breakthrough of the platform makes a direct positive contribution to the growth of the official gaming community in Turkey and the decrease in the use of pirated games.

With the completion of infrastructure optimizations, all price tags on the store are gradually updated and users in Turkey can quickly start using this new local experience by selecting the currency unit as TRY from their account settings.
