Just because the "Month of Activision" is wrapping up doesn't mean we won't get any more Activision titles, they'll just start releasing Acti games in line with the rest of the publishers already signed on to GOG. In that sense, the "stay tuned" message still makes sense.

taczillabr: Did anyone noticed that the month of activision list has been completed? Although it still has the "standard message" down there, "stay tuned".
Personally I want all games from the city building series, but guess will have to wait a while for a loaaaaad of activision games.

Well, we know what's coming tomorrow then, and after that there are no more tuesdays or thursdays left in February (the month of Activision) so it makes sense that the MoA list is complete - that doesn't mean we won't see any more Activision titles in the future, just that we won't see any more this month.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm slow, ninja'd by cogadh.

Yes, that is obvious. Not being rude, but did I really needed to write it all down here? ;)
I didn't say "Hell, we won't get any more Acti releases for the next tuesday, not for the whole year even!". I just think we will get sparse releases of Activision games, since a new publisher is coming in March or so. (So that's why the loaaaaad was intended, as probably I won't get the load of caesar games in this special month. ;) )
Activision owns blizzard and LOTS of others, lots of things could come out
Bloodlines, Pharoah (forget ceaser 3 o-o), Starcraft, Warcraft 1-3...

Activision doesn't own Blizzard. Vivendi own both. But it's not Vivendi who're on GOG. No Blizzard games for now, unfortunately.

"Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.
Type Subsidiary of Activision Blizzard"
"Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) is the American holding company for Activision and Blizzard Entertainment, majority owned by French conglomerate Vivendi SA. The company is the result of a merger between Activision and Vivendi Games, announced on December 2, 2007"
"Merger with Vivendi
In December 2007, it was announced that Activision would merge with Vivendi Games which owns fellow games developer and publisher Blizzard, and the merger would later close in July 2008. The new company is called Activision Blizzard and is headed by Activision's former CEO, Robert Kotick. Vivendi is the biggest shareholder in the new group.[21] The new company is estimated to be worth $18.9 billion, ahead of Electronic Arts who is valued at $14.1 billion."
Obviously its not the best to go via wiki, but according to them, the companies are linked... I know you agreed with that point, but it sounds to me like there is enough of a link for blizard games to be released... only time will tell I suppose

Too much effort to link but GOG mentioned Blizzard would "take additional effort" or something to that effect.

Meh besides Warcraft 2 there's nothing else I want, so it's no biggy for me.

No. This has already been stated. Blizzard aren't coming to GOG at this time. Otherwise it would be Vivendi month. The companies are linked through being owned by Vivendi, like I said. Obviously it's leverage. But nothing more than that. I think it's likely because Blizzard want more money for their games than GOG presently allows. Which is also the reason it's doubtful we'll see Bloodlines here.

How did this thread find its way to page 3?
Bump for massive proportions of justice!
So after the wonderful month of Activision - what can we expect tomorrow? Sadly my financial resources are - while not sparse - still so that I should look for money and my wishlist has already grown but I don't have anything against letting it grow more and more. And still Pharaoh Gold would be an instabuy.

Indeed, that would be an instabuy for me as well :-).
However, I have a feeling they'll release something non-Activision tomorrow (or nothing at all, and release two new games from a possible new publisher Thursday) and save the remaining Activision titles for later days.
Well, there aren't any more "coming soon" tabs left on the Activision Month page.
On the other hand, we haven't had any official "this release marks the end of Activision Month" yet.
Surprise release this week, then.

The Activision month ended last Thursday, I thought? Well, on GOG months last longer than 31 days then...

No, it's Activision Frenzy now ;-).
But yes, I was surprised as well... Not that I'm complaining, though, as this may mean that we will get the city building games eventually.
