I'm sure its been said but the force is strong with this one.

Thank you GOG. You have accomplished what I thought could not be done.

EDIT: I just picked up X-Wing and TIE-Fighter. I don't buy games at full price very often but in this case it was definitely worth it.

All great games and glad to see them here, but sadly looks like the best game to ever come out of Lucas Arts, Day of The Tentacle, isn't included. In fact, when ever any store starts selling classic Lucas Arts games, this one seems to be left out. Considering that I am only one of millions that consider this their favorite Lucas Arts game, I have to wonder why.

Alright I just caved and bought Sam & Max, the graphics just looked too good!

This is the best thing to happen on GoG since Witcher 3 was announced. Seriously it's putting a little faith back in me that I can still count on some quality releases that can't be found anywhere else but GoG, which is why I was ever interested in this service in the first place. Plus hey, Sam and Max, finally, it's a miracle!

Haha, people who have no idea about contract law really need to stop pretending they know a damn thing about the subject. There really isn't any more that needs to be said about that. There's too many ignorant naysayers around here that ruin perfectly good threads with their nonsense.

Please don't forget Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe!

This is just the beginning. They are going to release more than 20 classic LucasArts games and I'm very confident that Day of the Tentacle will be one of them.

Great choice. The story is equally good :D

So far, GOG has been upfront about their large changes. While their regional pricing 180 did shake my trust in their willingness to go back on their principles, they have been good about pointing them out. And if they make a change that's significant, then I'll just stop buying anything from them. I download all my games as I buy them and have over 400. I'm only in my mid-30's, but at my pace I seriously doubt I could finish all of those before I die anyway. I may be proven a fool to grant them that much trust, but for the moment I do.

EDIT: I also do verify the EULA of each game when I install it. I don't go as far as that requires and periodically re-verify the online version, though. As the last line of their terms of use is the last update date, you're absolutely right that I should make that a periodic verification before purchasing (I used to do that with Sony PS3 store, before they added terms such that I don't use their service any more).

The question of if GOG was going to go back on their word on DRM came up quite often in the regional pricing discussion.

Disney's definitely using a standard contract which covers much more than games. However their wording does show thought regarding non-DRM electronic items. Not sure if that was specifically thinking about games or if it was on their radar for VHS tapes and has carried through.

As to standard contracts and changes, those do happen. For example the first EA EULA on GOG included a clause that if you installed the game you were agreeing to have Origin installed on your system. I put some complaints in somewhere about that and assume others did too, because that was corrected last time I checked (Origin sections still there, just properly prefixed with "if using EA online services" or some other provisos that didn't cover GOG). You might recall Google had a similar issue when they released Chrome as their re-used EULA was for web services and for a web browser technically claimed ownership of anything you browsed to or worked on (they corrected that one pretty fast).

As to the binding arbitration and class action restrictions, those are due to some US cases (possibly Supreme Court, possibly lower courts, I don't recall) which granted that sort of provision to be enforceable in contracts of adhesion. EA, Valve, and several other companies all put wording like that in their EULAs within the next couple of months. Valve, at least, made an attempt to be somewhat fair with their first try in ways that others are copying now (i.e. paying all arbitration fees and not restricting small claims court), but they're still written in a bit too anti-consumer of a way. I understand that there are too many lawyers looking for anything to pay off their loans with, so some degree of protection from frivolous suits is necessary, but I'd think provisions stating along the lines of stating that 500 people or 5% of the users, whichever is greater, would've had to have arbitration deemed insufficient before it could move on or something else that would allow a class action suit in the event of gross impropriety, but would be way too high of a bar for a hungry lawyer looking for low hanging fruit.

Obviously, you'll have to agree with the new EULA or you won't be able to access the game.
Yet, such new agreement may not be legally valid if local laws in your country differ from what's stated on it.

Well, what happened to me is I have a lot of used space on my hard drive that I'm not freeing up because some Steam games work without logging into Steam but I can't uninstall the others without either getting rid of all of them or logging in to Steam. That and I have a couple hundred games that I can't get to anymore.

Their points are valid for binding arbitration provisions, though, in that a contract of adhesion cannot trump local law. It'd be like if a EULA stated you were prohibited from complaining about the game, that would easily be stricken down as invalid by US 1st Amendment for you or I, but not necessarily for either of them (I don't recall which, if any, European countries have quite the same degree of freedom of speech, though I recall Germany at least explicitly does not). The only thing the company could do is refuse to sell to the US at that point (or try to prove that the speech was false and could be liable/slander, I suppose).

Additionally their arguments would be valid for these games from GOG, in that they are sold as DRM free so inclusion of code that had the game check in for updated EULA probably could be brought as false advertising and get that removed or full refund. Now if Disney updated the game with a handy feature or bug fix and included the new EULA with it then, there's a good chance they'd end up agreeing without noticing (or if it was a gamebreaking bug potentially being denied access to the game if they didn't agree).

And i've been very vocal, at the time, about the fact i thought it was unfair.
Yet, i don't see GOG changing its policy about DRM anytime soon. Even in the highly unlikely scenario of Disney deciding all of a sudden that games owners have to use DRMs, that would only cause the games to be removed from GOG.

Agreed, though I also protect myself from that one by downloading all games as I buy them and grabbing updates and keeping all versions of installers too. I do not claim that I'm not excessive, nor do I claim that I didn't perhaps buy larger hard drives than I actually have a need for.

awesomeness.. i hope rogue squadron makes it soon :)
