True Stuff!
I´ve tidied whole things up a little bit; anyways we need some new threads:
One at Nordic asking for a TitanQuestRerelease, one at Bethesda asking for the Arcane-Studios-Stuff as well as Wolfenstein, one at Paradox asking for the missing 3/4 of their portfolio...

Thanks for pushing it. I never understood what prevents EA from doing anything. Simple laziness or thinking that no one is interested in old games? Or may be they are afraid their lawyers would cost them more than any potential future sales from those games?

Nordic says that they're working on Titan Quest, and they've actually wanted to bring titles that GOG has turned down and that are in some cases DRM-free elsewhere. Paradox seems to still be adding stuff to GOG's catalog, judging by the new company names that are showing up in the filters. And I don't think we've seen the last of Bethesda, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to encourage and thank them. But there are still companies that we need to bring the DRM-free revolution to. ;-) There's still Capcom, Konami, Gearbox, 2K / Rockstar, Sega, Bandai Namco, Tecmo Koei, NIS America, and Sony.

It's going to be hard to deal with those from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Software_Association

It's actually amazing that some from there already sell games on GOG.

Doesn´t sound as bad as I thought... :D
Good job mates. :)
Looks like Hard Reset is heading this way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t13GKrC0Nc8&t=1m55s
Thank you, Hinterland Games, for The Long Dark.
And thank you, GOG, for making it possible through inDev.
EA promo, son!

Thanks for pushing this. Unfortunately EA "decision makers" appear like some robots who don't care about anything and direct all feedback and requests into trash.

While they have this massive conflict of interests, I doubt they'll release anything.

shmerl: Since Paradox Interactive now owns White Wolf Publishing, I started a new thread about Bloodlines here:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/will-you-release-vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-on-gog.889357/

Please comment and show your support.
The people over there are weird. Its like most try to convince everybody who like that game on gog that they are not in denial. The biggest highlight was that dude advising not using fan patches for bloodlines. Still desciding to facepalm in sadness or just laughing...

Have any of them even played the game? Do they even know its a traditional offline released title?
I have a client who is way way (way) up at EA, yet there is no possible way I could broach the GOG topic professionally... unfortunately. Been wanting to since he went there from a non-gaming, but well known, company a while ago.

Can you at least inquire whether the blocker is conflict of interests between their publisher and distributor businesses, or it's simply lack of interest and assumption that overhead of releasing the game on GOG is higher than any benefits from sales? If it's the later - we can convince EA. If it's the former - there is nothing we can do to fix their conflicts.

I'd be really interested in hearing what EA decision makers have to say about this mess and whether we (GOG) users can do anything to fix it.
