Is gog-games.to legit or a scam?
Clone of GOG.com distributing free game downloads with one confirmed malware report on Reddit.

MT Intelligence
The site copies GOG.com branding and promises free downloads of its catalog. Our fingerprinting directly matches it as a clone of the legitimate storefront. A Reddit post in r/PiratedGames reported malware inside a .rar file obtained from the site. independent review aggregator shows two conflicting reviews, one calling it safe and another labeling it sketchy. No business registration exists and the page carries zero contact information. These factors together point to elevated risk despite the domain's age and clean IP reputation.

Possible brand impersonation
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Treat gog-games.to as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
