Personally, I would like to see some more Wizardry-style dungeon crawlers.

0Grapher: Maybe the managers of EA own shares of DRM companies.

haydenaurion: Probably, wouldn't put it past them. :P
That would make sense, wouldn't it?
It is not unlikely that the managers put billions of dollars into the shares.

This would be really problematic. I wonder how we could bring them to GOG.

Johnathanamz: Electronic Arts (EA) has implemented Digital Rights Management (DRM) in 2 video games they published so far in Dragon Age Inquisition and Battlefield: Hardline.
I don't know which definition of DRM you are employing but as far as I know they pretty much DRMed all their games.
My physical copies of EA games for example have (real) CD checks and Spore for example was the first game I ever heard of that only allowed a limited number of installs.

Yes all the video games published by Electronic Arts (EA) have Digital Rights Management (DRM) copy protection software on them, but I was specifically talking about Dragon Age Inquisition and Battlefield Hardline using a brand new Digital Rights Management (DRM) copy protection software named Denuvo on top of Origin.

Denuvo was released for the first time like last year I believe?

Maxvorstadt: In the last few months nearly everytime I looked on GOG for the new release it`s another boring point and click adventure. It has nearly come to the point where I say to myself:"Okay, you don`t have to look at the new game, it`s surely a point and click game!"
I can understand that there are people who like this kind of games, but too much is too much.

JudasIscariot: You should've been here when just about every week there was an RTS or two being released...oh wait, no one said anything then :P
No. But I thought: "Couldn't they release some adventures instead of these tedious RTS?

Maybe. Regardless of what DRM they are implementing, though, the managers are probably always going to buy DRM company shares because they know that the company value will increase at least for a very short time. Even if they sell their shares immediately after the game is released they can make a lot of money that they didn't earn. :)

pfft it's been a proven fact that you can earn a lot more sales by releasing video games 100% Digital Rights Management (DRM) free. Especially earning money from the crazy people like me who purchase the same video game twice or more than twice.

JudasIscariot: I'll make sure we get more adventures and roguelikes since you seem to like them oh so much :P
=)

This will probably sound a little creepy, but here it goes

There he sits with his upcoming games and he won't get us sad
What a handsome lad
That's my boy

Telling Goggers he's doing his best
And that I can attest
That's my boy

In four short years
I've gone from rags to riches
And what I did before that I don't know
So let it rain on my windowpane
I got my own rainbow
And we're sitting here shining
Watching Judas grow

:P

You know what. This poem you said made me think of a very happy thought.

What if Judaslscariot is sitting on a massive amount of video games that he and the rest of the gog.com employees have been checking for years and decides to one day release I don't know lets say 200 video games all of which are AAA video games and some indie video games and just releases them all one day. Maybe before 2015 ends or at the beginning of 2016.

Yeah crazy thought that I dream of :).

When that day comes, my wallet will cry because it will be emptied out in a matter of minutes.

Could you post a source?

Even if the company can make more sales without DRM the managers can make money for themselves with company shares.

Johnathanamz: I will say if gog.com does not get any major AAA video games released for sale before 2015 end I think I will end up not purchasing video games from gog.com anymore only video games developed by CD Projekt RED and will move back to Electronic Arts (EA's) Origin and Steam, because waiting and saving my cash is just getting annoying.

I did not purchase video games published by Electronic Arts (EA) since I first heard of Origin in 2010 and I stopped purchasing video games from Steam in 2012. but I am tempted to purchase video games like DOOM which might get released for sale in 2016 and Dishonored II from Steam and break my 3 year break I took from Steam all thanks to gog.com being so slow.

But gog.com has been my choice of purchasing video games since 2011 and I really don't want to give up.
Earlier this year they released F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. 2 and just a month or two ago they released Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third. Both franchises were/are AAA by any standard. I'm sure Darksiders I and II (which were released when the Saints Row series was) counts as AAA too.

The gog.com version and physical boxed version of the PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one example it is out selling the Steam version. It literally is.

If you don't believe me maybe Judiaslscariot can provide you proof.

The PC versions of quite a few RPG video games would out sell the Steam version or any other version that has some type of Digital Rights Management (DRM) copy protection software on it and I'm not talking about RPG video games like Divinity: Original Sin or Pillars of Eternity.

I'm talking about all kinds of RPG video games.

There are many missing excellent point and click adventures yet and I hope we will see a lot more of them in the near future.

Please GOG, bring the remaining Sierra classics as Laura Bow and Conquests of the Longbow. I'm waiting for The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes and Noctropolis as well and the newer ones as NiBiRu, the Sherlock Holmes series by Frogwares, the missing Nordic portfolio and many, many more.

:)

Considering the very high budget of Darksiders 2 (50 Million Dollars!), I'd say yes, it does count.

Your kind and courteously worded request just makes me want to say "No!" even more :P

(yes, I am in a dreams-crushing mood today ...just ignore me :P )

As for you, please wait while we get a sci-fi RTS ready just for you :P

Are you trying reverse psychology on us? Interesting. In that case, I totally don't want games like Captain Claw, Get Medieval, Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Mortal Kombat 2011 to ever grace GOG. :P
