Well so far I've only missed ultima underworld and that was because I was more curious about how WC Privateer was, turns out the answer was "crap when using a dodgy joystick" but at least I have it now.

As for the lack of expansions, sure its a shame but they've added a lot of content post-release and even essentially given away stuff they could have charged for like the special editions of Broken Sword so its not impossible that we'll get them in the future

GameRager: Can I boycott the original boycott BEFORE it was ever boycotted in the first place? Just asking as i've got this DOCTOR friend with this amazing little blue box I wanna pop out with for a bit.
You don't want to go messing around with time paradoxes, I once trod on the toes of a young german bloke with a stupid moustache, he demanded to know who I was, I sneezed but he thought I said "A jew"... talk about a misunderstanding...

If you would have killed him, another guy with a stupid mustache would have taken over. Tesla coils for all! You really missed a chance for some awesomeness.

What about the mind controlled dolphins? Gotta take out einstein ftw, so the emperor can have his time to shine.

Sigh, I'll buy any game I like no matter the publisher/owner of the license.

I bought Dungeon Keeper and Alpha Centauri as soon as they came up. Might possibly buy Magic Carpet when it arrives (Never played it) and I'm kind of on the fence about Privateer. Anyone care to offer comment on it? The others just don't interest me.

I admit the whole no-expansions thing is a bit of a disappointment but, frankly, aren't we lucky that EA is here AT ALL? I just think boycotting them, regardless of the reason, is sending them the message that this wasn't a smart move and GOG isn't the place for them. Do we REALLY want EA deciding it may not be worth publishing any more games after the 25 they've negotiated?

In summary: GOG, if you can please do everything in your power to bring us the expansions. I think it's obvious that they're being missed.
GOGers, please enjoy these classic games dirt cheap. AC and DK are just fine on their own, (I'm sure the others are too but these ae the only two i can actuallstalk about with any authority) so sit tight and enjoy them because, honestly, you're missing out if you haven't played em and refuse to because of the boycott.

Apologies for the wall of text:

You're boycotting the boycott?! But you all promised to buy my cookies! I *need* that merit badge, dammit!

Also, since many claim that I have spurred their EA purchases, do I get a prize? A cookie? No, wait... I have those already. Cake? No, EA says we can have our cake but not eat it. Never mind, then.

The only thing left to say is that this thread is pointless and full of insane ramblings... I like it. :-P

I even bought Privateer, having no affinity for the genre (to put it mildly)... I regret nothing !

Coelocanth: This thread infringes on my sense of entitlement, so I'm boycotting your boycott of the boycott.
In Soviet Russia, EA boycotts you.

*drops in*

Just signed myself up with a copy of Alpha Centauri - omg so addicting. So much for planning on working on my CV this weekend.
