Recently I've been messaging a lot of dev's or publishers regarding their games coming to GOG. Most haven't said a word, but some have responded with positive news. Others with news that is a bit dis-heartening. One conversation with the heads of StarDrive had this to say about a GOG release:
StarDrive: They don't want it.They seem to only want games at release now or not at all.
StarDrive: So much for Good Old Games, they should re-label as Brand New Games :)
Me: That's a shame to hear, but with all the classics being released and games a few years old, I find that hard to believe. If you haven't, don't give up. Every distribution service that's legitimate is important, for all genre's of gaming
StarDrive: Sorry Jesse, This is what they said, we have spoken to them directly. It's 'too old'. Might have to do with that we initially said NO, due to piracy concerns.
Me: From what I've noticed, all games get pirated, whether they have DRM or not, and no matter what service they're on. But you willing to come to GOG tells me there's hope for the future. I'll start talking to the community at GOG and see what they think. We'll put a few good words in for you :)
Here's their main website: http://www.stardrivegame.com/
Here it is on Desura: http://www.desura.com/games/stardrive
If you wouldn't mind voting for it on the community wishlist, go here: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/stardrive
I figure every game deserves a chance at a release, new or "old".
