I suppose it's anyone's guess since it's R* we're talking about here and we all know how they are.
I mean, I would have told you zero.

And then Diablo.
Unknown, it would be possible if there is a massive change in attitudes at Rockstar, but yeah Unknown but unlikely.
Since the first two GTA games are freeware (No, really. I'm talking about the first two 2D ones), you can go ahead and grab those.

As for the rest of the series, I feel that the greed of R*, the licenced soundtracks, and many other factors limit the potental.
Highly unlikely. GTA III and San Andreas may see a release sometime in the future. GTA IV and beyond, they will never see a release on GOG. Rockstar Social Club prevents any of their games released during the social-media-age from being released DRM-free.

I'm not saying they can't remove it, I'm saying they don't want to. Games-as-a-service is too valuable to them.

You'd think that them having more money than God would make extending the music licenses easy. But I suppose the executives need every penny just to survive.

Excuse me, young man. Do you think GTA will ever come to GOG?

low rated
gta 3 to san andreas where the besto nes anyways, gta 4 sucked and 5 isnt to bad but as others said social club prevents drm free
If it did it would only be San Andreas and before that, and the music changes would still be in effect.
honestly, if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say about a 0% chance bc by all appearances they like to keep a tight rein on the franchise, but stranger things have happened to the GOG storefront so it's impossible to tell, really. for the PS2 generation I'd say there's probably a shot, but you can completely discount GTA5 ever being here because GTAO is their cash cow
if this was before Blizzard came here, I'd have said a chance of Hell (not the towns around the world) freezing over was higher. However, since Blizzard is here with 3 titles, I'd say it is not that low but it's not great either. The first 2 GTA games could be bundled with any purchase of Rockstar games and I can see the ones with the rockstar service having that cut out for release here. However, 5 WILL NOT show up here because it's a cash cow. Not to mention they show up, an age-gate like you see on Steam has to precede them due to the content.
Since major tightwads like Blizzard started sharing, now i am highly optimistic about Rockstar (GTA) and EA (C&C/Red Alert), as well!

I already expect GTA 1, 2 and 3D era, to drop SOON-tm! But i am buying only complete collections; not half-finished, incomplete releases (expansions, extras, etc).

Well, that and who has the time to deal with the tangled web of RIAA deals?

Rockstar's legal team is paid a fine sum to do just that.

FTFY. There's something game studio execs hate even more than piracy (and in their colossal ignorance they believe DRM-free == pirates). Supposedly it was a bad financial situation that tipped Blizzard over.

We just need Rockstar to bleed money like a hemophiliac gunshot victim entering the ER, then it is a 50/50 chance they'll suddenly see the DRM-free crowd as a viable market. Probably more given that they can see that Blizzard's attempt surpassed all expectations.
I think it's only a matter of time. Perhaps, we'll see something when GTA celebrates its 25th anniversary (2022).
