Try to stick to your own guidelines first. Like "if you don't like what i'm posting, stop posting" We're free men, right? I just sometimes have enough of all these guys who whine about everything. Even when something good happens, like signing up EA to GOG, someone ALWAYS have to complain. Even when there's NO REASON to do so.

And the answer remains simple - If you don't like any of the Electronic Arts policies, don't support them by buying their games. It's that easy.
Allelujah to that.

Interesting . Personally I do however find EA's new C&C 4 DRM scheme a violation of my personal right to privacy (if I can not play a singleplayer game without the game having to be online to allow me to play). Likewise I find Steams concept bordering the abusive since one can't play a game without the Steam Client must start first (I even bought a NON-download version of a game on DVD that I found out required both Steam on-line activation and that the Steam Client program starts every time for the game to run.
So when the article you reference to starts out saying that "The Wall Street Journal reports the megapublisher is readying a Steam-like store" then I must say that it does not sound like anything I would like. Personallly I draw the line for what I find acceptable at concepts such as "Impulse Driven" where you need a client program for every install and re-install (+updates) but also it will allow you to play the games without the client program running or has to go online. However I.M.H.O. then "Impulse Driven" has become poorer since it were bought by GameStop.

My absolut favorite supplier of Digital download versions of games ofcourse still is GOG.com because of the normally totally no hassle, DRM free concept (+ we get all the extras like manual, soundtrack, guide, and sometimes both old and new version of the game, all most often at low price and no extra charge for the extras).
Though I in general ofcourse support GOG.com then I wish that all companies would put out their entire catalogue by the same concept that GOG.com uses......

With respect to your remark "This may account for all the hoopla currently with expansion packs not being in the first initial releases from EA and GOG" ,
then, if it is so, then that could sadly also explain why EA's EULA here at GOG.com is as it is because that could also mean that EA is planning some sort of hybrid service where expansions would have to be bought and downloaded as add-ons, and that would make EA's non-GOG.com like EULA here at GOG.com make a lot more sense and no longer just sloppy work.
This can however be nothing but purely speculations/presumptions/guesswok at this time...

Personally I would however be very sad to see GOG.com's pure bred DRM free no hassle concept be polluted (or go down the drain) if that is what is going to happen.

Hope this means we'll be getting Lands of Lore and the Kyrandia series soon.

Sadly it is NOT that simple ! . Having YOUR attitude is only "that simple" as long as you are willing to take whatever crap people throw at you (or throw you) or if you won't "stand up" for yourself and what you believe in.

If that was true it'd make me pretty damn happy... :P Who knows, maybe with EA signing on with GOG they'll finally realize they've been sitting on top of a goldmine because of the SS license and how dedicated SS fans tend to be. Maybe, just maybe we'll eventually get lucky and have SS3.

No. If i can't stand some crap, I am not even being around it, like you are. You hate EA for it's policies, but you still want their games. That is sick. These are THEIR games, they may do everything they want with them. But you don't have to buy them. It's capitalism, baby!

I ain't your baby (but you calling ME "baby" probably says a lot about your sexual preferences!).
Since you keep up the dyslexic act I must also say that if there is anyone sick around here it must be you because you appararantly keep being unable to fathom that this is not about EA's EULAs but about the content of EA's EULA at GOG.com and the fact that it is not up to GOG.com specs in my eyes.
Also your writings speaks oceans about your lack of understanding of the conditions under which humans exísts in this universe, but that is another matter that I will speak of no further (not that I think that you would be able to fathom it anyway !!!)

LOL. Apparently, EA considers it possible for you to injure them more than money can ever repair. And that they don't need proof of your wrongdoing to hunt you down. Ah, the licenses to which we agree…

“10. Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of this License will cause
irreparable injury to EA for which monetary damages would not be an adequate
remedy and EA shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to any
remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof
of damages.”

Will Alpha Centuri have the ever elusive alien crossfire expansion?

;-)

You got a great sense of humor !
Not that I am not recommending buying at GOG.com - which I actually DO (I sometimes even buy games I already have on CD/DVD , just to be able to play without the disc in the drive) , but it is actually NOT difficult to get the "alien crossfire expansion" , at least not in europe.
You can buy the "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: Complete Edition" relatively cheaply on CD at Play.com .
You can also find the game title on CD at ebay.com.au & getprice.com.au (sold by ausgamez.com )

Gosh, just learned it and WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!

Amazing jobs guys. Not a game in there i don't wanna own!

Anyone else surprised all 6 games announced so far are for $6? One would think EA would ask for more, at least for the bundles or mega-hits.

If you don't know who i am paraphrazing with "it's capitalism, baby!" , shame on you.

What is better for you:
1) having EA games on GOG.com with EA's EULA
2. don't have EA games on gog.com at all

because that EA EULA was probably a condition of agreement signed between GOG and EA. So who doesn't know what universe is living in?

I am sorry if anything I wrote made your post look like "an endorsement", if , then I didn't mean to.
Also I did not in anyway comprehend anything you wrote as anything but "an honest discussion point remark" - and as I wrote : "interesting" .
I guess my response to your post was influenced also because of the general discussion(s) that is going on in this thread !
I am sorry for any misunderstanding I might have caused in connection with your post !!!
I would say that I would have to go with choice number 3
3) Having EA games on GOG.com with a GOG.com suitable/tailored EA EULA

;-)
