I still doubt it ;) I can imagine that the wishlist can be somewhat helpful to set some priorities. For example, if GOG has two games and it's already allowed to release them but some serious tweaking is still needed then they will definitely work harder on a game with +3000 votes than <100. However, I seriously doubt they say to each other: "Nah, we won't release this game, it has only x votes". GOG is known for releasing not only classic gems but forgotten and unknown games too. By doing so they are giving us a second chance to experience those games and man, some of them are really brilliant. Just a few examples to prove my theory:
- Tzar 131 votes
- Dracula 1-4: 49, 51, 26, 3 votes, respectively
- Jack Keane: 16 votes
- Pandemonium 2: 199 votes
- Project Eden: 127 votes
- Inherit the Earth: 93 votes
And they have all been recently released. So as I said - the wishlist is probably used to set up some basic priorities but not to determine which game should and which shouldn't be released.

That explains it :) Because even though the usage of the wishlist might be limited I can imagine that seeing it being constantly abused made him comment on that.

Here we go! http://www.gog.com/forum/general/so_all_these_vote_for_this_win_a_gamethreads/post160 Searching site-specific on Google actually worked better.

Yup, search function on this forum is... not... the very best one ;) (I'm trying to be nice here)

I already got your point when you mentioned in which thread it was posted.

Yeah, I think we all have those games. I'm still waiting for Cyberstorm to show up here, although at least I have the consolation that there's more than 80 votes for it.

I'm hoping that GOG has a bunch of the early games and is just stuck on technological barriers with getting them to work on modern systems. That's a lot better than them still having to wade through rights hell. Technological barriers can be eventually overcome, but lawyers can be stubborn until the sun goes dark.
