In case I'm not the only one who didn't know what GOG stood for:

   “GOG stands for freedom, independence, and genuine control.”
But actually, it stands (stood?) for Good Old Games. :)

It was "good old games", then they announced that good old games was going away and after everyone panic-downloaded their whole collection they announced that they weren't going anywhere but they were just going to be GOG without it standing for anything.

GOG marketing team at the time: "Now we do a little trolling".

I'm waiting for MAGOG so the Biblical End Times can begin.

Denoting a translation is not the only thing that "stands for" stands for.

No, it literally doesn't stand for good old games. Not for a very long time.
