That would be super fantastic, love this game! There might be licensing issues because of the involvement of Roger Zelazny though, as I remember correctly, this game was not only co-written by him, but was also based on a few of his earlier published short stories.

Still, would love to be proven wrong, Chronomaster would be an insta-buy for me! Same goes for Lost in Time actually!

Maybe they can be amongst the first ones to do so. ^_^

GOG does appear to have a few titles published by Square Enix. (No FF3 yet though... >_> )

Sadly chance = 0% that this weeks hint means a PC version of Chrono Trigger. XD
(Not that it would be unwelcome...)

Do not confuse those games sold by Square-Enix here with their Japanese games, because Square-Enix has a very strict stance regarding them. For starters, even though some of them are available on Steam, they are actually regionally restricted in Japan and since GOG has no such restrictions, Square-Enix has no desire to bring them here. But even if GOG did have regional restrictions, it still wouldn't be enough for Square-Enix, since they would desire DRM. After all, according to them, DRM boosts profits and is here to stay.

You should expect a very similar stance with other Japanese publishers. After all, even though Steam has Lords of Shadow 1, 2 and Mirror of Fate, none of them are available in Japan.

Have you ever wondered why Guilty Gear Isuka has been removed from GOG, but by no other store? Regional restriction might have played a role, especially when the game is also not available in Japan.

That's why the Western divisions of Japanese companies encourage community activism. It gives them support to bring more stuff to the west. Did you know that Konami US did try to bring the Silent Hill games to GOG but Konami JP wasn't interested at the time? If we want big Japanese games on GOG, we, the community, need to be MUCH more active. You should see the number of requests they got to put their stuff on Steam, so we need to be more active and visible. Write to them, tweet, post on Facebook, any and every way you can get in touch with them, we need to do so. There's only so much GOG itself can do on their own.

Any source for that claim?

There were several Konami reps on the NeoGAF forums, I only remember ToraShiro but he wasn't the one who made that claim. The one who did no longer works for Konami IIRC. I'll see if I can find the exact post.

Wasn't aware of that. O_O

I take this as a good sign, if their US division keeps pushing maybe it'll happen. ^_^

If they want my money, releasing through GOG is the method to obtain it. -_^

I think it might well be time for the GOG community as a whole to actually submit emails / letters to companies such as Konami, Capcom, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, Zenimax, Take2 / Rockstar, Paradox et al.

If we could get a petitions worth of voices together it might well give them a wake up, not so sure that it would actually bring them here, but with some nice games in each of their back catalogues it would be a nice thing.

Maybe a blue would be so kind as to collect up our voices as petition to sign, then e-mail / deliver the respective documentation to the relevant companies heads so they can actually see there is a demand for their games by people who want their games DRM-free and with regionally unrestricted prices.

I agree with all of this, and I've thought about how to create a good petition to create and send off to devs/publishers. Perhaps just as importantly, aside from petitions and simply having individuals contacting and showing support is having good education regarding DRM and why it's such a big deal to many game buyers, especially us here on GOG. I don't think convincing the rights holders to bring specific titles over is enough though. We also need to show them just how effective a DRM-free business model can be, and how it doesn't ruin sales and increase pirating, and so on. There seems to be a lot of mixed feelings regarding DRM-free, especially from Japanese based companies. They need to learn that it's a viable option and that they're only limiting their own sales.

I could make a petition and gear it towards a specific game, or a series/franchise, or I could direct it to a publisher itself. Making a devoted forum thread specifically for this topic wouldn't be a bad idea either. I might do that :)

I agree. ^_^

Judging from some of articles I've read there seems to be a lot of misinformation about DRM on the publishing side of gaming. >_>

The only real fix isn't to convince them to sell 'insert game name here' DRM-free but instead to get them to consider the advantages of a DRM-free release.

As a consumer, when I see DRM-Free on a product it is a huge feature that drastically effects my desire to purchase said product.

For me DRM-Free = Forever/Owning. DRM = Temporary/Renting. I collect a lot of software, the thought that it will fail to function not because the system requirements aren't met but instead because a company's key/authentication server is no longer online has prevented me from purchasing several games that I was really psyched up to play.

(For example I have avoided purchasing any game that used GFWL.)

There are other considerations of course and I don't want to get lost in a full blown rant so I'll end my post right here. -_^

Noted. I had slowed down on tweeting because I assumed if GOG could do nothing, there was nothing I could do, but I'm willing to start devoting more time again to doing this.

Sure, why not. And while we're bursting our heads hoping, why shouldn't Disney release the "almost finished" DoTT remake as well?

Not_going_to_happen. :( :( :(

I'll go with either Z (clever spotting of the red/blue thing) or, if the hint is indeed about time travel, Future Wars

The definition of classic that GOG used prior to starting to sell new games was games 5 years or older. Braid is from 2008 and so qualifies.
