TheMonkofDestiny: The point I was going for was more that of the multiple Digital Eclipse packages, that's
all GOG has received. No Mega Man, no Street Fighter and the list goes on. Even with GOG having a sizable number of SNK titles available, it's just not a given that they'd be graced with the presence of the Samurai Shodown collection.
TheMonkofDestiny: Certain developers overlook GOG just as much as their publishers do.
Just because SNK has titles here (and available through places like Humble) doesn't guarantee any kind of favorable look toward them allowing future releases of titles they have planned, much less collections they have licensed and outsourced.
Besides, I never said it was unrealistic just that I strongly doubt it sees a release here (I can't see the future obviously, so maybe I'm proven wrong 5+ years from now).
Worry not, I got your point first time around. It boils down to glass half-full vs half-empty point of view. I don't see this being that grim, TLB2 lagged just 2+ years behind as I see it... 5+ years would have been merciless! ;)
Anyway, does it matter who is "right" in some guessing game of what gets released or when? Had no idea... But your opinion in this matter has been duly noted though.
