While you can't buy it from GOG you can, at least, get it as freeware (official legal link)

I'm starting to think that 'The Neverhood', 'Mirror's Edge', 'Killer is Dead', or 'Krater'. Though I used to think I'd never see 'System Shock 2', and 'Grim Fandango'; so there is always a sliver of hope. Also, with 'Armikrog.' coming to GOG and the possibility of 'The Neverhood' showing up here also seems a tiny bit more hopeful. Perhaps I'm just being overly optimistic, but a man can dream. :-)

Despite the fact that GOG and Square-Enix are on somewhat friendly terms, I have my doubts that Chrono Trigger will be making its way to GOG's catalogue.

Drakensang series

Or lets say I don't understand why it isn't here.

What Gamersgate writes here is BS: SecureROM
I've got this DVD and it has no SecureRom, because I ripped the DVD, installed the games and played them without any disk mounted or cracked executables.

All GOG would need to do, is to make a deal with them and package the installer.

The same company (DTP) published Divinity II: Ego Draconis, King's Bounty: Armored Princess and Black Mirror II, which are partially already here?

Games don't just magically appear overnight on GOG because somebody found a DRM free DVD out somewhere, and a DRM-free copy of something somewhere does not translate to it being DRM free everywhere. If that were true, one could say "I have a DRM free version of GameABC on GOG.com and Steam has the same game and says it has DRM on it, but that is impossible because I have a DRM free copy on GOG". No, it is possible that you can have a DRM-free copy and another store sells one loaded with DRM. Either way, regardless of what is true for whether a given copy has DRM on it or not is irrelevant with respect to the process that occurs for a game to get on GOG.com. Both companies have to want to work together in the first place and initiate a partnership contact if they don't have one, and then the legal rights to a given game's copyrights, trademarks for game binaries, data, music, video, logos, other technologies, etc. need to be sorted out, and potentially numerous other companies contacted to sort out legal issues, distribution rights in individual countries around the world potentially and all kinds of other complex stuff that can take years to even contact who the legal owners of all the parts are.

"I have a DRM-free DVD of a game, therefore GOG should have no problem putting in their store tomorrow" is very short-sighted thinking for how the legal side of things and the processes involved work. GOG has spoken about some of that over time on Twitch.

GOG is our gaming ally here, they do everything they can to bring stuff here, and we use the wishlist to tell them what we'd like to see here. Then it is a trust GOG and wait game, whether that takes a month or 10 years, they're going to do what they can do and we have to wait whether we like it or not. It can suck, but if someone wants to get frustrated about it, be frustrated with complex legal issues, and not the almost sole ally in the game of chess. :)

The DRM on a given copy of something or lack thereof is completely irrelevant in all of this insofar as making a game show up here, other than to indicate that a company might possibly be comfortable with DRM-free. Or they might not either.

Blizzard released their original games all DRM free up to Starcraft. Fast forward 2 or 3 years later and every copy of Starcraft being sold out there had DRM of some form on it and nowadays Blizzard very much appears to embrace full on DRM as much as possible. I could say "Bring Starcraft 1 to GOG, I have DRM-free CD of Starcraft right here! That proves the copy Blizzard sells doesn't have DRM, so GOG should be able to put it in the store next week!" and that might make me feel good but it pulls a pillowcase over my head about all the business and legal issues that have to happen for what I want to see occur actually occur.

So I'm not disagreeing with your conclusion, but am with some of your premise. Yes, they need to make a deal and package the game if they were to add it, but only after a potentially 5 year long legal limbo like with Lucasarts or something. Or it could happen in 2 months too, but if that were the case then they'd probably have done it already I imagine.

I'm just saying... give GOG the benefit of doubt and trust that they are actually our ally and they know more about this than we do and if they haven't got a game here yet it is not because they fell asleep playing Mario Kart. :)

Might be worth trying to contact the publisher and track down the rights holders etc. perhaps. There are many cases where a gamer here has done that and it has actually helped speed up the process by helping track down all the right people. Just a thought/suggestion, but best wishes either way to seeing your game(s) show up here though, especially if you're passionate about it.

Take care.

I only mentioned the gamersgate version, because I have the exact same label on a DVD with Drakensang+Addons at home and it has no SecureRom protection whatsoever.

This either means gamersgate artificially put one in, like a launcher for the actual game binary that would not work without the DVD inserted, or there is none.
In either way it is not hard to get a DRM free version of the game.

The game is very popular, like Dragon Age Origins in the Dark-Eye universe.
The publisher seems to have had contact with GOG already? Black Mirror2 and the others?

I can also buy Risen3 DRM-free on a DVD and this does not mean it automatically appears on GOG.

But Drakensang is already 4 years old and would be some good addition, this is why I wonder it isn't here yet.

Earthseige.

The Portal series.

Curse of Monkey Island.

Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome

It's like the only game I can think off that I would really want to get released on GOG, Steam or somewhere else.

NOLF. Pretty sure those will be lost to copyright Hell forever.

The Sims 2

Yeah, another vote for the two NOLF games from me. It seemed to work for Bethesda, back in 2015, so let's see that if by saying No One Lives Forever will never be on GOG we reverse-jinx it :P (joke-wishful-thinking aside, I really think there's not much chance we'll see them on GOG -- or anywhere else, for that matter).

Every single time someone remotely "in the know" (like streamers on the official GOG twitch channel have done in the past) says something along the lines of "this is going to be a week full of surprises and GOG will make a lot of people VERY happy!" I get hopelessly hyped for NOLF, just to have my hopes shattered when I find out it was some stuff I don't necessarily care about -- like the SSI D&D Gold Box Collections, or Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. All great games, probably, and getting them on GOG certainly made a lot of people ecstatic, but, still... they're no NOLF.

Here's to hoping Nightdive Studios somehow pulls a System Shock and manages to release No One Lives Forever here. One can dream, right?

Funny to look back and see all the games we were sure would NEVER show up here.
