Petrell: Well most of them refer to at least some sort of source indicating there are at least some plans/possibility but neither Fallout 4 nor Skyrim link to such source in the list. I don't remember SCPM mentioning them either.

Andrey82: Let me explain: Fallout 3 wasn't discovered like Fallout New Vegas or Oblivion and was in the list without any prooflinks. You can go a few pages back and you will see that Fallout 3 is just there without any link to source. Just a wishful thinking. And we got this game with New Vegas and Oblivion. So, i made exception for Skyrim and Fallout 4 just because of that: we have all rights to assume that this games will arrive at GOG after some time passes.

For all other games there will be prooflink before adding them to the list.
Fallout 3 probably shouldn't have been in the list in the first place. Yes, it was expected because New Vegas was known as coming and it makes logical sense that Fallout 3 - an earlier game - would show up. Other than that there was no evidence it was going to show up. Skyrim and Fallout 4 don't even have that logic to back them up.

I'm sure there are plenty of publishers here that will release games when they are considered old but they shouldn't be added solely for that reason.

[EDIT] I would even go so far as to say that Skyrim and Fallout 4 are even less likely to show up because of Bethesda's obsession with paid mods for those games.

Oh, they'll get here inevitably. The cow will stop giving milk sooner or later :P

Drifting lands : seems the devs are going to submit it to gog.

Vote for it in the whishlist, would be sad to have a such promising game refused for a lack of votes :/

GOG needs more side-scrolling shoot'em ups. Voted!

Contrary to Steam, GOG still has a selection process and they might refuse the game

And thank God for GOG's selection process (even if some good stuff can sometimes be blocked by the "filters"). Now that software Trolls with too much time and money can upload a game just for 100$ on Steam Direct, we won't have long to wait until we see Steam be overflowed with crap joke pseudo-games and offensive stuff with very poor taste.

Before it was one time $100 for a developer account. Now it's $100/game. So in theory the rate of crapware should decrease. Greenlight was a joke anyway.

GOG's selection process includes the rejection of genuine classics like Dragon's Lair and Mushihimesama, the curation here is a joke.

Also the MacVenture series (Deja Vu, Uninvited, Shadowgate Apple versions) that was released on Steam if that post from way back in another thread was correct.
I would assume that GOG accepts all games they can get their hands on, provided they and the publisher both reach an agreement. This whole "not accepted, obviously too niche" always seems to be an excuse to me, like when the publisher wanted more percentage of the revenue than GOG was willing to give.

Oh you! Once again you know my frustration all too well on that second one.

But wait a minute, seriously? Dragon's Lair? THE FMV game that's conquered many a platform? That game was denied? Was there a reason given for that? Dragon's Lair really isn't niche so that can't be the excuse.

We have no more concrete info other than Dragon's Lair 1 & 2 and Space Ace were rejected.

Dragon's Lair is a great cartoon film, but it's not a game. There is barely any interaction between the player and the film.

The entirety of Dragon's Lair "gameplay" (it's not actually gameplay) consists of pressing the one exact key that the developers want you to press, during the one exact second when they want you to press it.

If you press no key, or if you press the wrong key, or if your timing is off by more than a second (maybe less), then the film diverts off its normal course and shows the main character die. If you press the correct key, the film continues along its normal course.

And there is no way to know what key to press, or when, other than by trial and error (or looking up a walkthrough). So basically Dragon's Lair is a film/memorization simulator, based on forced trial & error, masquerading as a game.

If non-games like Dragon's Lair did not fail GOG curation, then GOG curation would be useless.

ReynardFox: Space Ace were both rejected.
Space Ace is not a game either. It's also a film/memorization simulator with no gameplay in it, exactly like Dragon's Lair.

Are you goddamn serious? We all know Dragon's Lair is very limited as a game, but it is an important part of Gaming history, and many of us who grew up with arcades still love it and others enjoy it for the timepiece that it is.

GOG's curation is complete, biased garbage. Fact.

Those of us who know Dragon's Lair from the past will be aware of the fact that at best, it is barely a game. But for anyone for whom Dragon's Lair is before their time, they will have no clue. They will buy the game without knowing what they are getting into, and then feel ripped off after the fact because they didn't understand what they were buying. GOG curation keeping Dragon's Lair & Space Ace out helps to protect those consumers.
