Ehhm... it seems WB's time to object ran out.

Problem with NOFL is the rights to the game are in dispute;Monolith(which Warners owns) made the game but the actual rights to sell it are a legal mess. The head of GOG made a statement last year when asked about NOFL it is one of the games he personally would love to see On GOG,but GOG can't make a deal until the ownership mess is cleared up.

As I stated.I'll buy them ''if'' they happen.I think I already read somewhere a while ago that it's legal mess.What about AvP 2?Is that a clear road?

Now there is hope to be able to buy Transistor DRM-free!

Yay! It's great to see the flurry of publishers joining GOG recently. Now if they can just get THQ, 2K, and Microsoft I might almost never use Steam again...

Are you advocating Necromancy ? ;-)

I doubt we'll ever see any big name studio Hollywood type movies here DRM-free. Reason being that with most movies the ownership rights are spread between up to 50 or so individual owners within a given region and each region has different owners all with different rights etc. GOG might be able to secure the rights for some movie in one region at one price and not in another region at all, and in a 3rd region at a different price. In order for it to happen here on GOG, GOG customers would have to be comfortable with getting DRM-free movies that are region restricted and potentially regionally priced, otherwise the likelihood of the morass of rights owners on a given film agreeing to it are likely slim. GOG senior folk spoke about this on a Twitch.tv stream some months ago, and asked for customer feedback as to whether people would be willing to go for something like that or not because they do have content they could acquire DRM-free apparently, but not necessarily one-world price with global distribution.

Personally, I think too many people here would go into a violent rage over that so it is unlikely to ever happen, and we'll never see DRM-free big-name movies and TV shows here. Personally, I think it will happen, but it'll likely have to be some other storefront unrelated to GOG that does not have a precedence of one world price and global availability built into their customer expectations from the start so that they can make it actually happen. Perhaps CD Projekt parent company could fire off another subsidiary unrelated to GOG with different business model and policies and do this, or just do it on their sister site but expand it to be global reach and multilingual - https://cdp.pl/ Just a thought anyway, they appear to already sell movies and music etc. there so it wouldn't be off the wall.

100% agree. Just thought it would be great to see movies TV shows done drm free the GOG way.

Absolutely and I hope someday we'll have that too! It's kind of bizarre because the entire planet rejected DRM on music to such a large extent that it more or less killed the idea of using DRM with music across the entire industry and now all or virtually all music sold online or offline is completely DRM-free and nobody even questions it anymore and piracy doesn't even enter into it... but on the movies/tv shows/video front, things are still largely in the stone age, while progress is being made in the world of video games nicely.

Hopefully within 10 years, all media is DRM-free always and nobody questions it, just like music is sold today. Long way to go to get there though!

One little problem: A Major film cost much, much,much more then a music album and no way studiios are going to allow any distribution system that is easy to copy. You also have a much more complex distribution system for movies and TV Shows.

I dunno, bittorrent is relatively easy to copy, although I'd have to agree with you that bittorrent is a complex piece of software, under the hood at least. ;)

Seriously though, I understand what you're saying but the industry is misguided with that thought process because DRM does absolutely not in any way prevent piracy whatsoever no matter what kind of pro-DRM stance they or anyone else takes.

Just about every movie, TV Show or video game ever made has been available through piracy channels either the day it comes out or in many cases days, weeks or even months before it is officially released somewhere (from what I've been told). Allegedly, one can type in the name of just about anything into these alleged pirate sites on release day and find whatever the given piece of media is so they say, and with any DRM/copy protection allegedly removed.

Much nicer to be able to shop for things on DRM-free sites like GOG.com though than take chances on malware/viruses or having other problems, or having suits show up at one's door.

Count me in for buying DRM-free content from good retailers like GOG whenever possible!

Not only do I agree with this, I feel that this is what CD Projekt should have done from the get go. Not only would growth in the movie distribution business require a lot more sacrifices than GOG has had to make in the gaming distribution one, GOG already faces serious competition and a serious uphill battle in the gaming market as it is. As such, it's absolutely essential that all its resources be focused on further expanding and keeping GOG competitive in that area. Heck, it has taken immense effort and willpower on their part just to get to this point.

The movie distribution business is absolutely enormous; it is also a minefield of licensing issues, distribution deals and big studios set in their old ways. If one is to tackle that market and try and popularise DRM-free movies, it needs to be handled meaningfully, not as a side project on a primarily game distribution service. It requires a service with its own staff that is dedicated to the task and that will have a clean slate in terms of what policies it will follow. And frankly, the sooner they do this and stop wasting GOG's time and money with movies, the better.

I think the existing GOG movie offering thing is fine as there is some DRM-free content out there although it is mostly documentaries and indie content it's still DRM-free, but for real movies, TV shows and content where it traditionally is not DRM-free friendly and has a morass of legal issues the problem will be trying to get studios to not only budge on the DRM side of things (apparently some are ok with that aspect) but to agree to a dozen other demands with regards to distribution rights and pricing globally - which is where the studios will either laugh at them or only be able to respond "we don't have the legal power to do that due to existing licensing deals or division of rights" etc. And with existing legal arrangements out there existing on just about all content from what I understand, even if every single studio out there embraced DRM-free completely, the ownership issues and distribution rights problems make it next to impossible to ever get DRM-free plus all the other consumer-friendly values that GOG embraces for gaming. If GOG decides to hold the same standard for movies as for games, or if the customer feedback/expectations are that they hold the same standard with an "all or nothing" mindset, the only result that can happen is "nothing" which is basically what we seem to be seeing happen so far with respect to big name content anyway.

I think there isn't a market for such content per se, but rather that there are several markets for such content, and that the existing GOG policies, values and platform are not the best match for what the industry can offer with their own constraints at least with most content out there if I understand correctly from what has been said so far about this. In that case sooner or later some company out there either pre-existing or new but without pre-existing customer base expectations will spring up to offer DRM-free content even if it has limited distribution regionally and/or regional pricing or other limitations attached.

Personally I think things like DRM are one battle to fight on one front, and the other consumer non-friendly things various industries do to consumers are entirely separate battles that need to be fought, but that "all or nothing" ways of tackling these problems results in complete lack of compromise from any sides of the battle and ends up in a stalemate like we see happen so much in real world affairs especially in some of the long standing warzones out there. I'm definitely not a fan of putting all of these battles in one all or nothing basket myself, and would prefer to see people focus on one annoying consumer non-friendly issue at a time, convincing the industry that it is better to not do one issue at a time, and as each issue is resolved to work on the next one as well. Sure there are problems with that, but there are problems no matter what and eliminating even one of them even partially is progress forward whereas all-or-nothing thinking pretty much results in universal stalemate and zero progress ever happening.

Individually, one could agree or disagree with this view and that is fine, but in the end the most flexible company out there in terms of concessions is the one that will get interest from the industry potentially, and the majority of consumers out there already accept the status quo so there isn't a lot of incentive to change, but there are people such as myself that would embrace DRM-free on it's own being offered here or somewhere else with open arms even if twice as many scoffed at it due to other unrelated issues. Personally I'd like to see GOG or their parent company be a part of making that happen, and give my money to them to support the effort, but it's a huge waste of time if it's an all-or-nothing deal, it just wont happen at all period, and we end up with Netflix and Hulu and similar as the best options out there which leaves a lot to be desired. :)

Over eight months later, I wonder if we'll ever see more WB games on GOG. The only thing they've released since their premier is FEAR 2. They have a lot of great titles that many would love to see here, including the Batman Arkham series and Shadow of Mordor. Personally, I really want to see the rest of the Lego games get released here.
