We'll be putting out a press release later today with the relevant info from us about the news. But I see you've got me beat as far as breaking news is concerned. :P

crazy_dave: hmm ... looks like we have a slight bug, your reply isn't showing up in the forum page - it reads only 6 replies and no symbol to mark a blue post
Huh. That's officially strange. I guess the dev guys made a change somewhere. I'll ask.

serpantino: They'll probably end up being just www.g.com another generic distribution site which'll eventually serve up games with drm too.
Have a little faith in GOG. We're never going to add games with DRM. ;)

keeveek: One more thing. As you all remember , GOG.com made a survey some time ago (with prizes, i hope they will annouce winners soon) asking , among other things, if people wanted new games on gog.

And I think it turned out yes, and this is the reason they stepped forward.
We contacted the winners and disbursed prizes, I do believe. We didn't publicly state who they were.

keeveek: So it appears I didn't win ;(((((((
Alas, no. There were over 18,000 entries!

SimonG: Wasn't "DRM free" also one of the core values.... ?

Am I the only one noticing that this is missing in the press release?
It remains a core value. Don't worry.

SimonG: That is good to hear. Generally I trust you guys, but it was just odd that this never game up in the press release.

On second thought, maybe it wasn'tmentioned explicit so you don't scare all those new juicy publishers away....
It was mentioned in the text of GOG's actual press release. ;)

Fever_Discordia: oh THAT's what the exclamation point means - I though it meant 'hot topic' or something!
Whenever I post, you know the topic just got hot. :P

SLP2000: Could you make this thread even hotter, and tell me if those two publishers to be signed in 2012 are those you were supposed to sign this fall, or you've already signed them and in 2012 you'll sign another two?

Because if thsoe are the same two publishers, that makes it still 4 big publishers to go, and that's not good, but if those are two new publishers, that will make only 2 left, and that would be amazing.
You can probably tell that the publisher that we really wanted to announce last CDP Days conference is not coming this year. It ended up taking us a lot longer than we had hoped to finalize the deal. I believe they're one of the two planned for next year. The other is not someone who we had intended to sign in 2011, I do not think.

Ubivis: They used my intellectual property without reference and written agreement? I hope they pay me well for that :)
You should have put DRM on that sentence. Then they wouldn't have been able to do that. :P
avatar
SLP2000: So, is there any chance that the one you intended to sign in 2011 (but not the one you really wanted to announce last CDPDays) is already signed?
I do not know the answer to that one, but it's also asking for a little too much detail as to where we are in what negotiations for me to go ask our bizdev guy and then report back with the answer.
