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!

kalirion: Why would you wait possibly the worst adventure game Lucas Arts ever put out?
Because it's still better than any modern adventure games....

MasodikTiasma: Why mais bien sûr! I say "le" all le time when I express moi-même in le English! Ouh lala, don't you?

Don't worry, I get the point. I still think the french monk, being french AND a monk, would at least know Rabelais.

Here's a nice bit of "le expression orale française". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJ-W6LioB8
Yeah but, in this case, it's english guys pretending to be french, it's not a french being a stereotyped french, there is a slight nuance.

Taleroth: Wait a second. Just one second. So GoG stole their own briefcase and then delivered it to themselves?

Something's fishy.
They had to do something with their money.:D
There is also possibility of laundering some dirt.:P
Nobody said that marketing deals and contract were legal.:D

If they're going for the whole "zoom in on the map a bit more every day" then Square Enix is out of the picture because it would immediately be the only option if the zoom leans to japan....

Dammit :(

What if they cut the map in half and put japan next to the west coast. ;)

I really thought you guys are right, and it's LucasArts.

But do you really think GOG would claim this is the biggest announcement ever if it's going to be LA?

If it's the biggest announcement, then it could only be EA.

I guess, the biggest announcement ever until now, not ever ever
no one knows what future brings to GOG ;)

Agreed.

And you think LA would be bigger announcement than Activision or Atari?

Anyway, "biggest announcement" excludes other companies than LA and EA.

Okay, now they've popped up a countdown. I'm still curious, but I'm not raising hopes high.

If they would get hold of the whole catalogue of LA classics, then possibly.

Even then - LA is mainly adventure games (which I love) and Star Wars. If you are not interested in SW or adventures, then it's just a company with some classic games, but it's not that exciting.

And contrary to that, EA would be huge for everyone.

It seems to me that any company would be a great addition to the GOG lineup. And with how well GOG's programmers can actually make games Windows 7 compatible, if I was a developing company that had a vast backlog of games, that would tempt me VERY much to go into a partnership with GOG.

It would be AMAZING if GOG actually was able to sign all of these developers, but that's a little bit of a stretch to think that...
