I also want the zoo tycoon and hitman games released on GOG.

I, too, am a little disappointed with how that shook out. I understand that people who bought it Day 1 felt cheated and were upset at the release, but I will always choose to have the option to buy something rather than have it taken from me. With a revision of the listing, the game could have stayed for sale and kept the franchise alive here, but I think you may be right that we won't see another Hitman release here.

Now, I get it, people could perhaps have been more civil about it, but GOG's initial response to their own mess was not good and only served to stir the pot even further. People might have played their part, won't dispute it, but the Hitman fiasco and its consequences are 90% down to GOGs asinine decision and handling of the problem.
I don't even know which possibility is worse: if GOG knew the state the game would be released in and agreed, or if they were not told and didn't bother to check...

That's one of the things I mean when I said it could have been handled better on both sides. I'm not sure GOG was aware of just how much had to be unlocked through playing online.

So this thread will deterioriate into a discussion about Hitman and then get locked. Because a shill from Zoom Platform wants to derail this thread, like so many other threads towards whatever argument is most damaging for GOG.
It's sad.

Huh? Hitman was referenced eleven times before I even said anything about it. Why is this my fault?

It's sad.
I see no reason why the thread should crash, burn and be locked, though... so long as things are kept minimally civil.
Having not posted much in the forums until recently, I'd ask what's up with this Zoom Platform vs GOG thing, but better not derail this any further - I'll have a look around the forum.

Predicting what? That I would try to redirect people to Zoom for a game they don't even have? Do you do this when people mention Steam or do you have special feelings for me? You're awfully uppity. Should I have been more specific about GOGlodytes, too? We are all GOGlodytes. I was referring to hysterical GOGlodytes.
Anyway, to answer the original post, we'll see more older games that GOG thinks they can make money from. We don't understand their selection process, so it's hard to say if games you like will be games they like. Even if they like them, they won't necessarily show up here. It all comes down to money.
