Publisher Gamestar Arts and director Richard James Cook release feature length documentary film about gaming culture as part of new DRM free movie initiative on gog.com. “Pixel Poetry”, a film that examines the creative influence gaming has had on everyday society, takes the expertise of several industry veterans and media personalities into a discussion about how many different ways the gaming industry has evolved from its humble beginnings. Through the opinions formed, a thoughtful consensus is given on the many struggles and controversies that the game industry has faced, including the games as art debate, gaming and it’s alleged violent and addictive tendencies, and it’s legitimacy as a creative medium in the general public eye.

GOG.com, the digital platform for PC games that has delivered DRM-free content to gamers worldwide for almost 6 years, is adding movies to its catalogue. The team will launch its movie section with documentaries catering directly to its existing community: gamers and geeks. The line-up includes world premieres like Gamer Age and The King of Arcades, as well as award-winning films presented at international festivals, like Indie Game: The Movie. The movies will be available - with plenty of additional goodies - for download or streaming.
