Actually, those so-called "recent cashgrab re-releases" did include the remakes. Just not the AGI originals.
Personally, I own all of the recent re-releases, as well as the older ones. Which are far superior and much more complete, with plenty of bonus content and regular printed manuals.

Who is complaining about $3.33 per game? Seriously, guys, consider what Gog has to do to bring you these games. The value add Gog brings to the table is arguably worth more than their usual price points. All those addins? All the QA work making sure it works on xp/vista/7? What's wrong with you people.

Compatibility.

They're comparing the pricing to that of other on-line sites, where you can get more SQ titles for less. All three of these titles are easy to get running in DOSBox without much tweaking. It sounds entirely fair to be glad to see these titles, yet somewhat disappointed with the pricing.

Really?
Consider the following questions:
0- Do Sierra On-Line still exist?
1- Does anyone provide proper support for these games? IE, bug patches and so on? At the very least making it compatible with modern OSes without using 3rd party software?
2- Does anyone even still have the source code?
3- Would anyone understand said source code even if it were, by some miracle, located without extensive study?
4- Do the original developers/publishers get a penny out of what you pay for them? Or does all the money (apart from whatever GOG or Steam, etc. get) go to someone who acquired the license almost-certainly unintentionally by buying the remnants of a company (that had bought the remnants of a company)*10^n of the original publisher?
There are good reasons that there exists something called the public domain. Go read Free Culture or something!

0: No, but the rights to their games have been passed on to other parties.
1: GoG does if they land a release. Otherwise it's up to the current right holders to decide. For example, Apogee still have forums open for their old games where you can get support.
2: Probably.
3: Unless the source code was written in some ancient alien language for some reason, I doubt it would take much to understand it. Every time source gets released for an old game there's mods and enhancements for it out within a month.
4: Depends. Mostly not if the game is old enough.
There are good reasons that there exists something called the copyright laws. Go read How To Make Money or something!

Yes, there ARE good reasons copyright laws exist, but it's not to make money. Go read some copyright history. The original purpose of copyright was to LIMIT the rights of publishers for the public good. It was for the culture and the public's benefit, not the rightsholder's. The laws were a temporary concession to publishers designed expressly to prevent the kind of perpetual rights that they've since been co-opted to enforce.

Agree.

Abandonware is a term coined by people pretending they are not pirates, nothing more.

Um... one thing, you said SQ3 is point n' click, but that's not really true. I mean, you can walk around and look at things with the mouse, but in order to do anything you actually have to type (with a better parser than the earlier ones, I'll admit). The only full point and click adventure in the first three is the remake of the first one...

@ribrsiq:
I don't really need to read that, I know what I'm talking about. Even a simple wiki lookup is enough. From wikipedias definition of the term abandonware:
"In most cases, software classed as abandonware is not in the public domain, as it has never had its original copyright revoked and some company still owns exclusive rights. Therefore, downloading such software is usually considered copyright infringement, though in practice copyright holders rarely enforce their abandonware copyrights."
I won't bother replying to your list(of highly subjective reasons why you should be able to download software for free) as StoneBro has already done so. Like it or not, someone still owns the rights to the SpaceQuest series(in this case ActiVision) and it is NOT in the public domain just because you want it to be.

Why the hell is so many people nitpickin' in this thread INSTEAD OF PLAYING SOME OF THE MOST AWESOME ADVENTURE GAMES EVER RELEASED?????

+++++++

A discussion of why there needs to be a public domain and why copyrighted works need to pass into it at some point in their life after their creators have received a reasonable compensation for their effort is way beyond what this thread can handle and is not, in any case, relevant to GOG in general. Read Free Culture. Really excellent book. It's Creative Commons, so you don't even have to buy it.
Nevertheless, the case does stand that this pack is over-priced. Will it even make it onto the top-ten list for its release week, I wonder? SQ games are excellent, so the only reason they might sell poorly is price.

Yes it is more than that, you nitwit.
