Dr.M. has stolen our marketing plans, taken our game masters, absconded with our video trailers, and pilfered our contracts! Coala suggests that we should track down the evil Dr., but how in the world can we do that? We know that he has our "Get HUGE" formula, and we suspect that Dr. M. is going to the headquarters of our next publisher--and we know it's one of the five we've already mentioned in our CDP Days Conference this Spring. One of our clever developer guys pointed out that the only way that Dr. M. could have found GOG's secret headquarters (as opposed to our regular, non-secret one) would be to have put a tracking device somewhere. We've tracked Dr. M's tracker (ha! Take that, evil!) and we're plotting his location on a world map with each of our possible upcoming publishers' locations in them. Keep tuned for more updates as we triangulate on the signal and try to track down...the DASTARDLY DR. M.!


the mysterious Dr. M. made his appearance was way back in September, when we re-launched and moved the service out from the beta. Now, with the big announcement quickly approaching, it seems that Dr. M. has come out of the shadow once again. What's he up to this time? Find out more in the tale of great horror, entitled "Dr. M. & The Dastardly Doom". What horrors await? What grim future is coming to GOG.com?

We'll be posting the next pages of the comic in the next days so stay tuned to this news post as the story will reveal more info on Dr. M. and the secret briefcase!

Taleroth: It's not Square Enix or EA. That's all we know.

It could be EA only if there are problems with SS running on modern systems or some legal issues.

A force of evil threatens to engulf GOG? But we've already got Ubisoft, Activision and Strategy First on board, so it can't be that bad. :P

Yeah, he knows what we would do to him if he had lied.

True. My guess is either EA or LA. We are probably (based on the letter to santa that GOG posted late last year) going to see both this year, but I don't know who will be first. Exciting! ;)

Skystrider: I'm thinking there will be tentacles this summer. And mad scientists, pirates, archeologists, astronauts, cowboys, jedis and bikers. Oh my.
On the other hand, 25 games from LucasArts would mean we're getting almost complete LA catalogue of their old games. I wonder if this is possible.

Maybe it's EA without System Shock.

I think I'd really like Lucasarts. I haven't played any Maniac Mansion games. And I would like to try Monkey Island 3.

I think EA and LA are the only ones with catalogs capable of producing 25 games. You got consider Star Wars, and gog releases go well into the 2000s now, so Jedi Knight and KOTOR are possibilities. It'd still be cutting it close, but its definitely possible.

As for System Shock, the dark engine is a pain to get running on new OSs, the original shouldn't be a problem, I got it to work fine, but the SS2 and Thief took some magic to get working.Though Grim Fandango was just as difficult to get running, so I can't see it being the case if the the comic does in fact point to GF, which it most certainly does.

Isn't that like the perfect pool to gather vile conspirators from though?

It certainly is. Which begs the question: what could make it more ominous and foreboding than it already is? We've got the customer-hating Ubisoft, the developer-not-paying Strategy First and the contempt-for-everyone-exuding Activision.

We can add on hide everything away forever that isn't Star Wars related LucasArts. Or We'll install shit on your computer and never let you find it to take it off again Microsoft.

Microsoft would probably just try and file a patent titled "GOG". They're patent-trolling bastards like that.

I guess this won't be Lucasarts because it doesn't fit with the "Not quite that exciting" response from the EnigmaticT.
