No?
Then stop expecting GOG to release the same games as everywhere else when they are operating under harsher constraints, one of which YOU worked to have them keep. It's quite hypocritical of you to tell GOG not to do regional pricing, which leads to less big new games (including strategy games), and then complain that there are less big new games coming to GOG.

* including one of mine as I would like to see it here.

Is hearsay and rumors the best "evidence" you have?

GOG said that they got the low hanging fruits of older games.
GOG said that without regional pricing it becomes much harder to sign AA+ new games due to the contracts publishers have to sign with retail stores.
There's nothing GOG can do to make it easier to get older games (just work hard at it) and the community here rejected regional pricing.
The logical conclusion is that we will get older games as they manage to get them and that newer games will be mostly smaller, the kind that would not see a retail release and thus be less likely to have the associated contractual obligations.
Therefore I don't expect to see many big new games on GOG for a few more years (until retail is small enough that publishers won't care as much about it).

There are other ways to be wrong than by lying. Somebody in another thread might also try to claim that GOG promised two old games because he saw other GOG members say so, including Matruchus, and Matruchus wouldn't lie, would he?
Except that Matruchus seems very poor at reading comprehension and logical deduction and thus anything he says needs to be double checked for accuracy, "or it seems to me like that".
The reason to defend yourself for that is that you made a claim and offered no evidence for its accuracy. Others disputed that claim so you have the choice of withdrawing it, evidencing it (and hearsay is not evidence) or stubbornly refuse to do either and let others judge the general reliability of your statements accordingly.

You want to be such an arbiter? Build your own game store.
Bonus: you will get to see some of your users defecate on all your hard work getting the rights to old game and getting them running on new machines because they don't think that particular game is "appropriate" for having less than 1000 votes but that another game is appropriate with 50 votes.
What's wrong with flash and android games? The first two creeper world were flash games, that didn't make them crap.
Sure it's harder to make a good game on those platform due to the available inputs but each game should be judged on its merits.
