Mikee: Huh100% correct. Current owners of CDP Group will become owners of majority stake in new entity (publicly listed). It means basically more options of financing further grow of our company. The one thing needs to be clarified. We've signed so far only letter of intend. Final agreement is due to be signed to the end of the month.

Aliasalpha: Oh I do hope that only 49% of the stock is ever going to be sold to the public, the last thing we want is to have CDP sold off to EA because some random yahoos want some beer money for the weekend. They'd probably change Good Old Games into Good New Overpriced Sims 3 Addons, if nothing else GNOS3A doesn't really roll off the tongue, even if you do the 3 as an E

Assuming the G is silent... would it be pronounced "nosy" (or an approximation: "nosie")? as in "they're sticking their noses where they don't belong: in other peoples business"

Uh oh, I bet EA has a focus group on "Gnosea" as we speak.

Navagon: A cunning plan. It's good to see that at least someone in the games industry actually has business sense as well. This should be good for GOG.

I know a fellow famed for his many cunning plans.
Anyway, so if this means I can buy stock into the company that owns the company that owns GOG, I demand free game codes at every shareholder meeting!

You are too funny to be hanging out on Internet forums like you do. :)

The last series was the best.

That was posted in a Baldrick voice. However, due to this being the internets, such things are difficult to pick up on.

Then you should be like, <Baldrick>I have a cunning plan</Baldrick> and see if people get it.

Ah, but communicating the Baldrickness wasn't my chief concern in that post. Even if I did hope someone would pick up on it.

I disagree. I think the 2nd series was the best. Then 4th, then 3rd, and finally 1st. But then it's useless to argue about personal preferences.
