Tarm: Well I thought that pulling the games from GOG was a rather extreme measure. Must have been really tough negotiations.
RWarehall: Nordic is a pretty big company and I think they have regional "box copy" distributors as well. In many cases, a company isn't doing this distribution themselves and subcontracts it out. I'd guess this created an obvious breach in some contract somewhere and Nordic was required to use their "due diligence" in resolving it. It may seem extreme, but pulling out was likely the safe legal thing to do until they could rework all that needed to be reworked. In some instances, they may have had to wait for a contract to be up for renegotiation.
Kinda like where some games have their rights questioned and get pulled until it's resolved.
That sounds messy. Hopefully it won't be something happening to GOG in the future. Makes me nervous if another bomb will go off unexpectedly.
