I am a relatively new member to GOG, and I have been overwhelmingly impressed with the lineup of games available here. (Ah....the memories) ,however I noticed one glaring thing that is missing. Star Wars Tie Fighter is not here!!! As a matter of fact, no Lucasarts!,....copyright issues???

Somewhat correct. GOG does actively seek out publishers to add to their catalogue, but they tend to be tight-lipped in regards to new game announcements until they release them. Thus far, Lucasarts hasn't shown up yet. That doesn't mean they won't, but as of yet, they haven't.

There are lots of people who would love to see LucasArts games show up here, both for the various Star Wars games, as well as their adventure games. However, so far GOG hasn't managed to get them on board, and general sentiment seems to be that LucasArts will be one of the tougher major publishers for GOG to get.
George Lucas has turned into an evil Sith lord, so it's not going to be easy.
Thanks, for clarifying things for me. Well. Until Lucas grows a brain, I will just play Descent until my eyes bleed.

Unlikely... on the matter of Luca$ growing a brain...
We just need to use the force on him. Brute force at that.

:p
George Lucas: Some believe my directing abilities to be ....unnatural.

Steven Spielberg: Is it possible to learn this power?

George Lucas: Not for a decent movie director.

Awesome +1
Well at least we all want our Star Wars on GOG, eh?
I wonder if I still have my SVGA TIE Fighter CDs anywhere...
