A video teaser released by Good Old Games (GOG) today shows their “core values” being undercut by the “DRM Knight”, a knight who locks down games with frustrating DRM.

A closer look reveals that the Knight in Shining Armor has a …. Valve on the back of his helmet.

The allusion to GOG releasing a Steam competitor is about as subtle as an armored knight in full plate mail in a coffee shop. Take it as you will.

Good Old Games has been around since 2008, and is owned by CD Projekt Red, the company behind The Witcher franchise. The idea behind GOG is to bring back classic PC games to a modern audience by making them work on current hardware and operating systems with no hassle and no DRM. The insinuation here is that Steam is frustrating to use. The GOG library is pretty spectacular, featuring must-play old PC titles such as Descent, Baldur’s Gate, and MDK.

The announcement is coming on Tuesday.

Update

Good Old Games is relaunching as GOG.com.
