Mikee: tburger -> I'd say reality is simpler. Most of the big companies works with certain guidelines and standards. So let say there is one guy or small team taking care of DD. And those people selling to all DD platforms in the same model. Previously approved by bosses etc. And then we come. And we want non-standard conditions. First we ask for games, which quite often, are not sold any more, then we ask for strange price points - moreover to be used worldwide (at the same time we refuse deals which cannot cover whole globe), and then we ask for permission to adjust games to new systems. In one word, we ask series of quite uncomfortable questions for corporate people working on the certain routines with other DD companies which don't ask any questions, just taking games (working or not;) accepts any pricepoints and then report sales and sometimes ask for promos.

So because we don't follow the standard patch in fact we ask for troubles, but that part of the fun!;) ...And for big companies revenues are still not often big enough to bother to change their behavior. They are rather keen to ask us, guys can't you just sell games as all other companies do? And our answer is NO:) and we keep on asking, and proving that it is worth to sell games also through our channel. Also we try to ensure that we just need a permission, rest will be done by us including finding all additional materials..

So I'd say, that biggest problem in general is that GOG goes not the obvious route, route which require additional work/decision process from publishers. But step by step we persuade more and more companies. And next are about to come!:-D
