Yeah, i know, they are diferent since Steam Greenlight is actually broken (and they're eventually are going to end it) but my question is, what's the process for games to enter the Gog shop? Does the Community Wishlist works as interest indicator for:

a) Publishers realize that people will buy their games on gog;
b) Gog realize that people will buy those games (wishlisted) on gog;
c) Both.

I'm asking this because i do remember that when the "regional pricingate" started, gog said that they're doing that in order to have more publishers releasing their games here but... if that's the case, then why do people need to vote on indie games to be released here? I'm sure the developers are not against it.
And what would be the process to decide what's worth it or what's shovelware (in order to avoid Apple Store v.2.0 or even Steam 2.0)?

Edit: Bah, i can't edit my thread title, sorry about that. :\

I sure hope not, since that would get in the way of getting great but obscure games on GOG.
The main function of the wishlist seems to be to prevent people from posting game request threads all the bloody time. Those do crop up from time to time, but it used to be way, way worse.
Wishlist? I think you can ignore it. If Blizzard offers StarCraft 2, GOG won't reject it just because it doesn't have enough votes on the wishlist. And how much the publishers care for the wishlist... Well... Square is already on GOG and Final Fantasy VII has 14.000 votes. Where's the game? On Steam (and there are more examples) -.- So much for the wishlist.

I think AlKim got it right: It's just there to prevent people from flooding the forums with "Gimme game xyz" threads.
