World of Goo is a great game that has been mentioned at this site before: Click here to see the previous thread about World of Goo.

If you haven't gotten it yet, now is the time!

I just bought it and read this in the download e-mail:

We are trying an experiment: World of Goo has absolutely no copy protection or DRM at all, since we want to give you (and everyone) the best experience we can. Thanks for not distributing this, and helping us make this possible!

Sounds really awesome of them to not only have a Name Your Own Price experiment, but also to make the downloads DRM free as well.

Great job, 2DBoy!

Thanks for the info on the sales results. I finally had a chance to look at it.

yes, the blog made a pertinent point. imo, this is a good way for developers to get some return on older games.
