Ominousrobot: It's going to happen sooner or later, look how they started with the games and look at the selection we have now. I for one hope GOG are playing the long game with this. Aussies and Kiwis usually get the short end of the taser when it comes to region based distribution for whatever reason. Maybe if they started with the older titles nobody really cares about anymore and who knows, maybe 5 years down the track we will all be able to enjoy the latest blackbusters here.
xep624: Oh I truly hope so! Anyway the digital revolution in games put an and to charging gamers for every new game $100 and that's a good thing for us here. Good things are coming, but not very fast, but I guess this is the preferred way here.
Better to go slow and get it right than go fast and muck it up (looking at you steam early access) but I agree, sometimes a little bit of fast would be nice. I am slowly clearing out my backlog though.
I for one am looking forward to a time when physical copies of games are treated the same way that vinyl records are now; something for the collector who wants that extra something special, not just some shoddy plastic case with a game code and disc inside.
