    Edit : The banner was on a different website gog-games.to

    Even on gog-games i can’t see that banner.

    Neither on the official gog.

    In fact I don’t see OP banner on any GOG related website. And not on any site using the same logo at the top.

        Ah it is indeed yet another gog-games domain… Not to confuse with gog-games.org.

        Also while searching for the .to website I just saw a report of a user suspecting a malware infection after downloading a game there.

        Honestly, seeing how many websites share similar domains I would be very cautious browsing them…

        But the banner is indeed real.

        Edit : For more transparency, Here is the reddit post being suspicious about this site :

        https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/1qb0whb/goggamesto_is_safe_not/

        But there is also reports that says its safe for the games but to be careful with the ads on the site that might lead to dangerous stuff. Probably a good idea to browse with a decent adblocker at least.

          https://gog-games.to/ is a well-known site with a good reputation (but also, because Gog’s games are signed, they couldn’t slip malware into them without being caught anyway, which is part of the reason they have a good reputation in the first place. There’s enough eyes on them that if they’d ever altered any of the game they put on their site they’d have been caught immediately.)
