samuraigaiden: I wouldn't be surprised if most people in Japan's gaming industry didn't know GOG exists at all. Steam had very little support from Japanese companies too, until they started investing in events and workshops in Japan (Gabe Newell went there in person on some of these events) to get Japanese companies into Steam.
actually they do. but steam is more dominant due to games like monster hunter and other play station titles that popped up there in recent years.

What's your problem? There are plenty of EA/Ubisoft/Bethesda/Etc. games on GOG. They're not new, so that must be what you're referring to.

Why am I replying anyway...go wash your keyboard with soap!
Don't mind Starmaker, she's got some serious issues.

Starmaker: Do you see a lot of AAA releases from Western companies here?
Yes I do. Especially older games. When it comes to japanese game I do not see even them. I've read how many people respect GOG for reviving some old games, and I realy expected to see some older japanese games like Chrono Trigger (when I see what happened with Chrono Trigger on Steam, I'm not sure I want it now), Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil or at least Dino Crisis, less known survival horror from Capcom, or at least some early Tales of games. Maybe Tale of Symphonia. But nope, nothing.

zlaywal: I don't think it's only a problem within their gaming companies. The Japanese general entertainment industry have a very strong pro-stance for DRM. You name it, film, manga, anime etc.

The few Western companies who successfully lobbied for DRM-free japanese origin product are FAKKU and Project-H, which sold NSFW manga. Oh, I believe Jast-USA also offer DRM-free 18+ visual novel.
Thanks a lot for the reply. And thanks to @DreamedArtist too. I'll check up on that later and read about it a little bit.

And btw it's kind of funny to see how pirates are pretty much ruining that DRM politics. They pretty much nailed Denuvo pretty fast. I mean, they've cracked it rather fast.

And I realy respect some of japanese video games and their companies and I think they realy deserve my money for many of their games, but I kind of do not want to get them on Steam. And now when I've read about their DRM politics, I do not want to buy them on Steam even more :D

That's her usual level of conversation.

Actually, no, scratch that. For her, that was surprisingly smart and polite.

There isn't nothing. Just not much from current big name series...Ys series aside.

Ever play Grandia II? That's a classic JRPG here.
Frankly I'm not surprised what Japanese companies works show up here. Nihon Falcom started on PC and are relatively niche in the International market compared to EnixSquare. Two things I believe are true about Nihon Falcom since they're niche and PC. First since their profit margin is more niche, they look and research many ways to increase their profit margin. In their research they've found the piracy boogeyman is bullshit and have decided to take advantage of GOG accordingly. Two, they don't have a ton of corporate management they have to disabuse of said management. This line of logic applies to Gust, Idea Factory, Softmax and Nippon Ichi as well as Atlus(who is owned by Sega now though). There are more you can find. The best games to pitch to the big companies are compilations of games that are loved but considered garbage in sales potential...case in point, get EnixSquare to release a 2 compilation set of all Enix SFC games absent Star Ocean and Dragon Quest games. Additionally I think GOG would be ideal to push old arcade games to sell as there are plenty of great non Neo-Geo ones.

Nope, never played it. But heared good things about it. I think I saw it on IGN top 100 RPGs of all time. And thans for suggestion, going to check it out for sure.
Well, I think there are two simple issues.

1: Awareness. Are companies aware of GOG/CD Projekt Red?

2: Do they understand what GOG does? Is it just a place for old games? What is it?
My Internet today is being a real Turtle Burger today

Well I suppose it won't Heppen Overnight but it will Heppen!

Dino Crisis 1 was a PSX exclusive I think - with "Puzzles" yeah that a 2 year old could complete

Yeah "Clap Clap" for the handicapped I prefer Hard technically challenging games on my PC because LOGIC!

Now Metal Gear solid I wouldn't mind here!

I'm not realy sure if I should even reply since you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, but what the hell.

It was released on PS1 in 1999 and then on Dreamcast and PC on 2000. And for the difficulty, imo it was harded than Resident Evil series for example and both are from Capcom. Dino Crisis 3 kind of sucked, but first two are amazing games and I guess they are part of childhood of many people here.

And now to answer the most unimportant and pointless statement of yours. You've said you prefer hard technically challenging games, and that is perfectly fine with me. But I realy couldn't care less about what you prefer. Do what you have to do in order to get games you prefer on GOG or whatever, but if you do not have anything beneficial to say about other discussions, rather don't comment anything at all. Since you realy didn't said anything beneficial for this discussion your comment is highly irrelevant.

Mmhmm... and how old are you, I was born in 1983 I have been gaming for practically 2.7 decades (started when I was 7 years old) I do think I know what I'm on about I was a 16 in 1999 going on 17 flame-baiting much.

Oh and I was speaking in general I do that a lot since the physical brain damage fucked up my poetic and godlike typing skills I wish you knew me earlier I had amazing punctuation and grammar well the brain damage has fucked up that part of my brain.

Kind of interesting that Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth;2 (available on gog) has such a heavy-handed pro-DRM anti-piracy message (or at least I thought so)

Really? Where's my DIsgaea, then?

It's funny how older people think that they are smarter and that they know more than younger people just because they are older or because they have more experience, or so they say. In many cases that is complete bullshit.

And yeah, hard game doesn't necessarily mean good game. And most of the time it is all about personal preferences. I am not trying to say that Dino Crisis was super hard game because it isn't. But objectively it is still a good game, overshadowed by Resident Evil. If it's not good in your opinion, that is ok. But that doesn't change the fact that it is just your personal opinion.

And once again, if you do not have anything beneficial to say about topic of discussion, than rather don't say anything at all.
