Unsupported though (ie. if there are any issues running them without the client or not being able to use DLCs or whatever, you are on your own), and unfortunately this might happen:

So to me it isn't quite the same thing.

Not so sure what you really mean by actual games on Genesis/SNES?!

I got bit over 100 Genesis games (cartridges), Genesis CD and only CD version of game I purchased was 10 or more dollars, while most of games few bucks. (exception are rare games) I still got all 5 Sega Genesis packs on Steam, as it was just too good priced not to get it. I actually own all 3 Disney games from OT on Genesis cartridge and few other Disney titles back from the day.

I have nothing against emulators, actually used to write tutorials for some back in days before GOG.com, including DOSBox tutorial on Abandonia.

Either that, or maybe tells how 'well' everything else is selling... :D

Funny that not long ago I was defending gog.com inclusion of Indie games at EAB... :)

It surprised me too because it seemed like Disney wasn't interested in taking care of it's assets in Video Games.
It certainly seemed possible for the Virgin developed titles since the games division of that company exited the business. As for Capcom based Disney titles, you aren't going to see shit.

That's because they were developed for PC platform sharing assets.

In my opinion, the price that was set for these games was based on Retro Market which already has a bubble. This is happening to console games for a variety of reasons, but the most important one is that you got people buying up old stocks of these games and jacking up the price beyond their worth in order to make a buck. This doesn't happen to PC games because it's easier to pirate the games and get running on native hardware.

However...

This guy is very correct...

You'll find that the prices for the LucasFilm and Disney games on GOG match Ebay prices on the ones that do
come up.. The only one I found not to match was Shadows of The Empire which goes for $10 on average while
on GOG it's $5.99. That title however has always been given shitty discount pricing since it's release on GOG. The
ones I looked up were titles from the 90's with a console version also available. The reason I didn't do it for titles
with PC releases only is because I'm sure GOG knows damn well you can walk into a thrift store and find complete
in box titles for the price they list or lower, all of them being $5.99.

You have to admit the prices in case are a bit on the high side. I mean, did you buy the Disney games for that price? I didn't.

Also I doubt, GOG has no say whatsorever when making up the price. You are just guessing there and the guess may be wrong. Or how could it come otherwise that the very same game is more expensive on GOG than on Steam? Because the publisher wanted it like that? That doesn't really make much sense in my eyes.

Oh, they're not interested in making more / putting any more money in them, but doubt any publisher would mind earning a bunch off existing stuff they don't even need to bother supporting because the retailer (supposedly) does.

Yes the prices of some games are really mind bogging, but if you don't want them to buy at those prices just wait for a discount. I only buy games when they are 66-85 % on discount.

As of overall catalog of GOG the quality is also important. Some games might be old and don't look so bad, but they are still ages ahead of most modern trash that is being a standard for a couple of years. Therefore especially if you buy them on a discount they are actually worth it.

Of course I don't necessarily mean those particular games you talked about.

THANKS FOR THE NEW (AND THEREFORE AMAZING!) PRICE ON SOME OLDIES
HUZAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! ;P

edit: and "newies" as well ;P
pardon moi!

The industry has been adjusting their regular prices upward for years now because they get more revenue when there are sales promotions on, so they make more money selling a game for $5 at 75% off on sale than they do just charging $5 for the game ongoing. Obviously they want to increase the profit they make from their products and the only reason they do it this way is because humans love it when things are on sale so it works.

2 decades ago brand new games came out at $40-60 and in the last 5 years the prices have been creeping up on those too. Now they charge $70/80/90/120 for new games and put a 10% release discount on it... (yeah right... charge 10% to 100% more for the game then give a 10% discount...). I suspect within another 5 years all new games will be $200 brand new with a $25 pre-order discount and have $800 of DLC come out over the next year. People seem to love it.

So the phenomenon doesn't apply just to old games it applies to all games. The idea is "what is the sweet spot for the price at which we maximize incoming revenue over time and provide value to our shareholders". It's a practice that is unlikely to change any time soon. One just has to anticipate it and not run out and blow $80 on new games on release day, or $10 on new old releases on re-release day and instead hold on to the money and buy them at 75% off in a future sales promo which can be tracked via http://www.isthereanydeal.com
