Or they just sound cold and void of emotion.

As interesting and hilarious as this conversation is...

GoG don't tell us what they're looking into getting because there is a chance they won't get it. Newer games the companies may not want to remove DRM, older games they may not be able to get working.
So basically they don't want to get peoples hopes up for games they may not be able to obtain and sell (for whatever reason)

Uhhh

Yes.
The following is all speculation on my part.

Scenario 1) Negotiations fall through, for whatever reason.
A few years back GOG had said that they had signed one of the big 5 (Take 2, LucasArt, Microsoft, Square Enix, EA) and that they were close to signing a second one. Those were EA and Square Enix, though they were obviously in talks with the others as well. My guess is (and has been for a year or more) that the LA talks were also going well, but then LA was purchased by Disney. All those talks became null and void overnight. If GOG had told us back in 2012 that the were closed to signing LucasArt, then took over 2 years to bring them here, there would have been riots (most likely contained in the forum, but riots nonetheless).

Scenario 2) They can't get a game working.
The most prominent cases here are Carmageddon, which was promised as a Kickstarter reward, and it (barely) made its deadline, but it was released in a buggy state, and Chaos Overlords, which is the game that caused me to terrify a blue. The game still has a ton of issues, as can be seen by the supported OSes on its gamepage. So promising they'll release a game, then postpone it due to technical reasons is also a pain.

Scenario 3) They are still evaluating a game.
This is mostly for newer games, and Dark Matter was a prime example. The game was released here on Day 1, and removed from sale on Day 7 if I recall correctly. Since then, GOG tries a bit harder to properly veto the games t hey release, since that was a fiscal fiasco for them.

So, tl;dr version. They don't like to announce in advance what games they have plans to release, in case they cannot keep said promise.

I asked this question of them several years ago. JMich's answer was pretty much what I got back from GOG. The short of it is that you never reveal contract negotiations until they're signed.

You're welcome to search the archive thread for my question on this subject, but my own search proved fruitless.

Because like on Steam it's completely up to the developers/publishers to announce that their games will be released here. That GOG writes extensive original announcements is just a bonus to the releases and opened pre-orders but they can't just publicly post about anything that happens behind closed doors. Blame the devs and pubs if they decide to omit a GOG release from their press releases and stuff.

Then there's of course that GOG's pipeline is a buttload more complex than Steam's and many things aren't certain as quickly here as on Steam. For instance Ethan Carter's "remake" (or whatever that new edition is called) was according to Judas delayed because GOG's internal QA process was still going on when the game was already available on Steam.

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. Chances are, people will get pissed, if you give out that information early.

And if a player can't bear the uncertainty, then go and buy your game on Steam.

Remember the guy a few years back who got mad at GOG for not selling game before the release date? :P

Well, when a game has a release date of 10/11/15, some people would ask why it's not out yet. Others use a more sensible date format ;)

That one was funny, what a tit.

Yeah, that's the one. :P

+1 -- Thanks for actually giving a serious and informative reply to OP. I like silly fun as much as anyone else, but I was starting to grow a bit frustrated reading through this thread. :P

OK, that's it folks, you can all go home now. Nothing to see here.

I did bad.. I bought Grim fandango on steam and I tried it and played with a controlled seemed fine, altough why in the gods name they did think that PC player uses some playstation controller. I remembered those of cource but I noticed it. Still I like the new controls; camera-related movement.
