With Troika-Arcanum and Gabriel Knight certainly answers to clues, ActivisionBlizzard is a done deal. If other clues point to some multiple-publisher annoucement, that's just icing on the cake.
Within that ActiBlizz (Sierra, Infocom, etc.) framework, how 'bout some more guesses on these remaining clues:
"They are two different characters, but they complement each other beautifully."
"Where history overlaps with the present time."
Oh - of course. It's Woodruff & the Schnibble. No..wait - Nord & Bert? Frick & Frack?
:p

Will I be hit by stones if I say I don't believe it's Activision? Bobby Kotick people. While I agree some clues lead you to believe Activision not all of them do.

But Bobby likes $20. Thats his happy place on both Steam and the Bizz store. Why would they launch on GOG for $10 cheaper? Even Vampire: The Masqurade is $19.99 on Steam.

Maybe they're aiming for Sierra titles, like the Quests, or GK? Does Kotick even know he has them?:)
Smithers: Sir, we have a ton of really old stuff, shall we sell them for $20?
Mr Burns: No, Smithers, nobody would buy that... unleash the GOGs.

This thread should be considered closed, it is Sierra.
EDIT: Also, two of the likely games that we would get are NOLF2 and Contract J.A.C.K. Cate Archer and John Jack do complement each other pretty beautifully. H.A.R.M and J.A.C.K. I mean, seeing as that's the only clue that can't really be hammered down at this point.

I believe you, I think Sierra has gotten permission from Acti/Blizz to release games from franchises that they no longer care too much about.

Indeed: several of the games I've bought here are games I already own on CD/DVD. Having them DRM-free and updated for compatibility with current versions of Windows is worth $5 or $10 to me. I have many of the Sierra games that have been mentioned here, but if they were available I'd probably buy them again just to eliminate the DRM.

Son of a Bitch... i live 4 hours drive from Arcanum Ohio.... I never even knew it existed...
Oh and the Ultima revial is some type of browser based game.... its alright i guess kinda nice to play on the go... Arcanum is a very nice addition to the gog empire.... im praying we see icewind, BG2, and most importantly some Bloodlines... maybe TOEE aswell but... Bloodlines above all for me ^_^
