Hmm, I had posted in this thread earlier, but for some reason it disappeared. Glad those of you who are excited are feeling that way -- hopefully the next few games we're able to unveil are worth your wait.
Just ask that you not bear any ill will toward CNET -- they did nothing wrong, except to ask to be the site that breaks the story. Pretty common practice in PR (yes, you can all throw things at me), but we only get one to three stories a year that merit this sort of coverage with "mainstream" news sites... I thought you would have been more upset with the Ohio's Secret Place hint that pretty much gave it all away a long time ago :)
Activision!!!!

It's sour grapes. You could have just kept on being mysterious and not confirming anything for anyone until the second of the release, but knowing something of this magnitude is pretty good. Well worth the "leak". Kudos for the Activision deal, and keep on gogging!

Hey cool, that happens to staff as well! Glad to know that noone is immune from the insidious and insatiable hunger of THE POST DEVOURER *Dramatic chord*
I've just realised, almost every post I've made today has had some sort of parenthetical drama enhancement
Also, woo, activision! Bought arcanum

Oh man oh man oh man. As good as it would be to see the MechWarrior games on here, I already have them enthroned in a special casing at my desk. What I really want is BattleZone Gold. That rare, elusive, expensive edition that had the much-vaunted Chinese expansion.

Now...will we ever see them on sale like we don't see on Steam?
Arcanum is one of the greatest RPGs, IMO. Woot. More Sierra.
I mean, as much as I hate Activision and swore not to support them....I might have to start...
Buying their old games on GOG is a good way to show them that better customer relations (no DRM, etc.) and good games will earn them money, while they will not succeed with poorly made, overpriced new games and terrible attitudes towards their customers.

"And on the news today, a classic-gamist was found suffocated in hos own body-wastes earlier after buying new releases of old games on gog.com. His family are devastated, but declared, 'It's how he would have liked to go.' More later."
:P
