Hello Guys,

i have an old DOS game, called “No?Future!”. Zip File attached.
Is it possible to publish it onSteam, GOG, etc.?
I am not an IT guy, i am working in a hospital. So please keep it as simple as possible.

Best wishes,
Gereon

So it is this game, which was commissioned and published by the German Ministry of Ecology in 1996.

It was available for free download (English and German versions) from the developer's website (Wayback Machine copy):

Are you one of the original developers, or do you own copyrights to this game? If not, in what capacity do you intend to publish it over Steam and/or GOG?

If it is not free of copyrigths, why can you download it for free?

Making something available for free is not the same as waiving your copyright.
Please do yourself a favor and don't try to publish things that are copyrighted by someone else.
