Derek Smart was interviewed on Rock, Paper, Shotgun here
"There are also other upcoming ones which target a specific demographic. e.g. GoG. I mean, was that a brilliant idea or what? Its like retro bargain bin hunting. Hopefully they can get a lot more classics on there. But my guess is that the biggest hassle they’re faced with is tracking down the developers/publishers, finding out who actually owns the rights to properties etc. GameTap went through the same thing. It ain’t easy."
Derek Smart likes us!

Too bad none of us like him!
(The smart ones, anyway).

As long as you do everything Derek Smart's way and never question him or his choices, he likes us!

He makes a good point about niche development of games for smaller markets on smaller budgets.
I for one would love to see that, rather than EA style mega-corporations.
Its the sort of thinking that gets you truly individual inspiring ambitious games.

Aww, this is not USENET. Don't be a wololo!

doesn't like GOG enough to get the acronym right.

Ah shit, now I have to find another place to go. Surely this is a sign of the End Times.

Who is Derek Smart?

An overly self important wanker

Yeah, I saw that, I just have never played (or really heard of)any of the games and was wondering if I should know who he is. The fact that his name sounded familiar didn't help with the confusion

I was going to say that, nice one.

Hehe nice one. I should have a look & see if they've done one for david jaffe

DEREK SMART'S DESKTOP COMMANDER!

He does make some valid points, like steam not being as big as valve touts it to be, and it mostly relies on the popularity of Valve games. I havent heard of any of his games nonetheless. Will some of them be on GOG anytime soon?
