Hello.
I looked and I looked, and I cannot find it for sale here anymore. Does that mean the deal for the distribution of this has ended? Are there any plans for Original War to be sold by GOG.com again any time soon?
Thanks in advance.

There's a licencing/rights issue with this game and we hope to have this game back up as soon as possible.
We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Is there any update on this? I was disappointed to see this game one day and go to purchase it the next to find it no longer available. My original disc is long gone...

The only thing i know about the rights to Original War is that Altar and Virgin Interactive's agreement was that they shared the rights, but Altar would hold the rights to distribute in the Czech Republic. Virgin died, and noone knows(Noone that iv found anyway) who holds Virgins rights over Original War. Altar Interactives rights went to Altar Games (Altar Interactive went bankrupt, Altar Games is the same company resurected under a different name).

We're still working on the licencing issue, it's simply taking longer than expected but we hope to resolve it soon.

I blame EA...they might not have had anything to do with Original War but I still blame them.

As Stucuk said, the rights holder for the world (except Czech Republic and probably Slovakia too) is at the moment unknown, isn't it?

Except this time it's worse as this time Bohemia Interactive is pulling out of GOG taking all of it's games with it. :-(. It also probably means Bohemia Interactive intends to go Steam only from now on. :-(
