Here is a new German language GOG interview:
http://blog.games-career.com/de/witamy-w-polsce-arbeiten-bei-gog-com-in-warschau/

One thing mentioned is an unannounced project coming up in 2016. It may be announced in March, during CDPR's next presentation.
On Gamasutra, Lars Doucet wrote a piece about "Valve's judgment on Seasonal Sales":

http://gamasutra.com/blogs/LarsDoucet/20160205/265285/Why_I_trust_Valves_judgment_on_Seasonal_Sales.php

In it, he also mentions GOG shortly:

Quote: ""Discoverability" is not an easy problem to solve -- the more titles in your library, the harder it gets, and exponentially so.

Curated stores like GOG solve this issue by being very selective about who they let in -- and for those of us fortunate enough to get in, GOG is indeed excellent. But Valve are trying to walk that fine line of being open to basically everyone without drowning everybody in obscurity thereby."

Nice words about my favorite store (when it comes to games). ;o)

well... I agree with this also -

"I'm really glad to see Steam moving in this direction. Not only were flash sales and daily deals during a seasonal sale bad for customers (you had to constantly watch the sale and be afraid of missing out), they were bad for developers. It created a two-tiered system where everybody was on sale, but only a select few were really on sale, and it seemed like the same list of big name developers would get the special flash and daily deal slots all the time. Even worse, it created a hostile mentality where developers felt like they had to aggressively compete on discounts in the hopes that they'd be picked for the spotlight. Now it's much better -- sure, XCOM 2 will probably get a big hand-picked headline, but if you're Korean and like Tower Defense and RPG's? You just might see Defender's Quest. The games you see on your front page now depend mostly on you.

And that's as it should be."

lets see if others stores follow suite.
Just a heads-up for anyone interested, there will be a CD Projekt conference live-stream on March 10 9:30 A.M. C.E. where they will discuss financial results and their strategy for the future. Might be a chance for news on Cyberpunk 2077 and GOG upcoming developments:

It would be interesting if you could make a separate dedicated thread on D-Day so it will remind people to look it up (and maybe discuss it if there are some juicy bits)

I'll try to make a thread the day before or something, because the stream will be live around 3:30 AM my time by my reckoning, and hopefully someone will bump it at the right time. :-)
Here's a recent Russian-language video regarding GOG's 1st anniversary of Russian GOG. The video is quite curious as it feature a lot of footage from the likes of WarCraft 2, the original SimCity, Neverhood, and Cities: Skylines:

Honestly I could somewhat imagine any of those games showing up (even WarCraft 2 despite it being Blizzard), but I wonder if the context is just to show off "classic games" in general, not games specifically coming to GOG.

If I remember, I'll ask about it on https://www.gog.com/forum/general_ru#1461254261, or somebody else can. (assuming there are some folks on that forum who know both English and Russian)

Yeah they show some of the games that "Fargus" localized on the Russian market. It's not just a video about us but also shows a bit of history of "Fargus" since we added quite a few of their Russian translations to some of our games :)

So, in other words, don't read anything into it?

Well, at least the truth has been set forth, thanks. :-P Still, iirc two of the games - SimCity Classic and Cities Skylines - appeared in the "Its True or Not" list, which I'm still not ruling out until a bluetext just outright says it's garbage.
