I assume that IP of 95% good old games is in possession of big or medium-sized publishers like EA, LA, Ubisoft, Interplay etc. and therefore gog team focused on bringing those companies on board first. Now by the end of 2011 we shall see here (hopefully) 3 of 5 remaining big-ones and that will give gog.com an access to amount of games that will easily cover 2 years of new catalog add-ons. So do you think that gog legal department eventually will try to hunt down some of those 5% remaining classics or they are lost for us? Of course I realize that their primary goal will be bringing all ‘big fiches’ on gog.com but they sure will have some extra time to start negotiating with, say, Brian Fargo who owns(?) rights for ‘Wasteland’ or Harlan Ellison who seems to own(?) rights for ‘I have no mouth and I must scream’.

I think Team 17 owns all their old stuff themselves. That's some Worms and Alien Breed goodness right there, if true.

They already did otherwise we wouldn't have Another World here. But I guess it's probably not their top priority, all the usual negotiations for a single 6$ or 10$ game is probably not very profitable.
