russellskanne: At all the ones saying "GOG can't demand...blabla", I think the tone of my post made it pretty clear that I'm not 100% serious about this. Are you new to the internet?
Btw, when i speak of AAA, I'm also referring to older non-indie games, like Diablo 2, Starcraft, Mass Effect, Max Payne etc., not just the newest shit.
If GOG wants to survive it has to do more than just selling the next h*ntai shovelware and secure the big players. And preferably day-one releases. I don't know how much nagging and nudging GOG is really doing, but it's probably not enough.
Subjectively (and maybe objecively (where is Jmitch when you need him?)) this was a boring year.
Boring and with questional corporate decisions. But if GOG is ok with an "Get Off Galore" image for future generations, then so be it...
About the AAA Good Old Games, Im almost 100% sure it's not GOG's fault on this. Which is even sadder.
Many of those companies had "Remasters" and "Remakes" planned long before announcing it.
Why Ubisoft never released Splinter Cell Chaos Theory here? Well maybe because there's a Remake coming!
Why Bethesda never released Skyrim here? Well maybe because there's ANOTHER version of the same game coming! lol
To each company with it's own reasons, but meh... Not GOG's fault in those ones imo. :P
