The biggest announcement in GOG.com's history is a fact! Electronic Arts grants access to its deep back catalogue of classic franchises via yours truly GOG.com!

In a ground-breaking, earthshaking, and jaw-dropping deal we've managed to sign with EA and will be releasing more than 25 legendary classics from the globally renowned publisher. With today’s announcement three widely known and much awaited brands get the revival treatment from GOG.com: Wing Commander: Privateer, Dungeon Keeper and Ultima Underworld 1+2.

We will be adding more than 25 titles from EA over the next few months, so the games will be unveiled gradually, but we can already reveal that the next upcoming titles from this huge deal are: Crusader: No remorse, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Magic Carpet.

While the agreement between Electronic Arts and GOG.com brings back many acclaimed and well known franchises, it doesn’t include the much anticipated System Shock or Syndicate series at this time. After releasing the first six Electronic Arts classics, we will take a break from the concentrated awesome until later in the summer.
Nice. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sports Car GT, GoG needs more racing games.
Please, please people at GoG, be sure to make Alpha Centauri playable in windowed mode. If you can do that, you'll have a zero day sale from me and I hope many others.
Great addition to GOG.
I hope, we will also see the two classic Sherlock Holmes Adventures from the early 90s (Case of the rose tattoo and Case of the serrate scalpel) on GOG soon. I believe, these are also EA-Titels.
Thanks A.Borque
PS: Are Wing Commander 1 & 2 also in EAs catalogue?
What is this EULA crap? I thought GOG refused that. This is bothering.. :(
One vote for Alice . :)

Technically it isn't DRM and GOG is only DRM-FREE.........not EULA free. ;)

GOG's had EULAs at least as long as I've been here. Though that's admittedly not long. I've had to put a checkmark in the installer for it.

lightnica: All three of the new releases have this at the bottom:
"ACCEPTANCE OF END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT REQUIRED TO PLAY"

Anyone downloaded a copy of one of the games yet? If so can you post a copy of this END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT?
It's lengthy, of course, but here it is. Just open the enclosed jpg in a text editor like notepad.

And Crusader upcoming i love GOG thanks so much
I really want to applaud EA for taking the $6 road (at least, for the first 3 releases).
About EULA's:
If the EULA contradicts the law of your country it is automatically null and void.
Nevertheless, EULA's are a big nono in my book.

Oh don't be such a big baby and enjoy the games...they're cheap, awesome, and are DRM free.
Great news but hugely sad that they won't be getting the license everyone really wants: System Shock.

So you don't buy games at all? All games, maybe excep indies, come with an EULA attached. GOG is not an exception.
Congrats GOG !
A bit sad that we won't see Syndicate and System Shock for now (I'm sure that we'll Syndicate around the corner given the rumours of a new title),but hey, still good for now :p
Hope we'll see Microsoft as a publisher next (or one of the others)! :)
