Yep... It had a ton of really neat games nobody had heard of in over 10 years. It was like VC for PC games.

Wow. It'd be nice if they gave their customers a concrete reason as to why they're shutting up shop. Let's hope it is a stunt then...
I doubt it, considering they took down the site and are allowing people to have one final download of all of the games they bought.
It was one of very few sites where you could get old PC games which worked reliably on new versions of Windows. Also one of very few digital stores with no DRM. Fare thee well, beloved GOG.
EDIT: Unless it is a stunt, hiding the fact that they're leaving "beta" (which was always plastered under their logo). Hmmmm...

I guess they just blew their cover with that trailer, huh. Guys! We have enough money to make an edgy trailer with pretty graphics! Pay attention!
And if this is all a publicity stunt, then a lot of people are going to be hella pee'ed off. If you run a service like that, people expect you to not disappear at your whim and fancy.
First of all we would like to apologize everyone who felt deceived or harmed in any way by us closing down GOG.com without any warning and without giving access to your games. We apologize for that from the bottom of our hearts!
Now it's time we put an end to all the speculations once and for all. It’s true that we decided that we couldn't keep GOG.com the way it was… so we won’t. As you probably know by now, GOG.com is entering its new era with an end of the two-years beta stage and we're launching a brand new GOG.com with new, huge releases.
The new GOG.com will launch at 8.00 a.m. EDT (2 p.m. CET). Later today we'll provide you here with 4 videos where you'll find all needed information about the current events, as well as news on the new GOG.com, the upcoming big releases and the summary of the last two years.
Word on the street is, it's all a little underwhelming. Pretty stupid stunt if you ask me. Some websites can give themselves a facelift overnight, with minimal fanfare.
Never heard of it before, but that actually sounds really really cool. I'll check out the new site, I might find one or two oldies I've been looking for!
