Jinx_Skeel: well diablo 2 is there on the gog program dreamlist, with almost a 100.000 votes, so...
*shrug* Just means that many users want it. But they don't have any say in it, just like GOG doesn't either.
It is something that people somehow still don't seem to get. In the best scenario, distribution rights are entirely in the hands of the publishers, so unless they want to put a game in a store, it won't happen, period, no matter what the store or its users do about it.
And I'm saying that the best scenario is that because there are also "rights hell" situations where it's not clear who has the rights or expired licenses that won't be renewed, so there are games where not even the publishers can really allow it. But when it's clear who has the rights, and especially when a game is being sold somewhere else, the decision is 100% in the hands of the publisher. And if it's an in-demand game, you can be absolutely certain that GOG has tried to ask to sell it time and time again and were met with refusals.
GOG has a huge stinking pile of failings, which grows every day, but this is not one of them. The question about releasing such games should be directed to the publisher, not to GOG.
