Latest update, December 31st, 2017
So, 2013 will be soon gone, and we had quite a few complaints about "lack of classic releases". Let's see what GOG released this year then, shall we?
In 2013, GOG released 183 titles (not including DLCs). First release was Cultures 1+2 on January 8th, and last release was on [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_teslagrad]December 13th. Out of the 183 titles, 52 (28%) were day 1 releases, with Battle Worlds: Kronos and Democracy 3 just missing out on that list (released on day 2).
We also had 45 (25%) pre-2K games released, with Avernum: The Complete Saga barely missing the mark (Original release January 1st, 2000), while the total number of games ten years old or more is 59 (32%), with Cultures 3+4 being released here 4 months before they became 10 years old.
Compared with 2012, GOG released 3 pre-2K less (45 to 48), 5 10+ years old less (59 to 64), but 28 more day 1 releases (52 to 24) and 23 more games (183 to 160).
And a quick sum of the GOG years so far
2008 had 65 releases, 29 (45%) of which were pre-2K ones.
2009 had 114 releases, 47 (41%) of which were pre-2K ones.
2010 had 79 releases, 35 (44%) of which were pre-2K ones, and 36 (46%) being 10+ years old.(Baldur's Gare 2: Complete being 10+ years old, but not pre-2K)
2011 had 85 releases, 48 (56%) of which were pre-2K ones, 57 (67%) being 10+ years old, and 1 (1%) day one release (The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings)
2012 had 160 releases, 48 (30%) of which were pre-2K ones, 64 (40%) being 10+ years old, and 24 (15%) being day one releases.
2013 had 183 releases, 45 (25%) of which were pre-2K ones, 59 (32%) being 10+ years old, and 52 (28%) being day one releases.
Total (so far) of 686 releases, 252 (37%) of which were pre-2K ones, 281 (41%) being 10+ years old on release, and 77 (11%) being day one releases.
Release dates have been taken from GOG pages, data is compiled here.
Next update to the list, summer promo. Have a happy new year everyone.
