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!

And then the night before the reveal, they'll tease us by giving us the hint that the second letter is 'A'

Bodkin: Hmmm, Microsoft. Crimson Skies, Freelancer, Rise of nations, Fable... Mechwarriors?

I would like to see that. On GoG.

keeveek: Starlancer, the Neverhood... would be great, but i doubt it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the first Metal Gear Solid's rights belong to Microsoft. (:

Stehmdawg: I know it seems lame, but I'd love to see No One Lives Forever and no one Lives Forever 2.
So would I, however it has nothing to do with the topic at hand since it's in Activisions back yard.

Anyhow seems Square Enix is out of the picture. I think it will zoom to those 3 California based companies which means it will be a battle between EA, Lucas Arts and 2K Games. If it zooms to Redmond it's too bloody obvious.

SOL!
Better yet, they'll reveal that the company's name contains the word "Arts".

I sincerely hope you aren't actively trying to degrade this into yet another beg-for-game thread. Please discuss publishers and theories all you want, but try to keep posts that amount to no more than "I want these games" to the wishlist which was created for just that purpose.

I think it's pretty obvious it will come down to either Lucas Arts or Electronic Arts and that will be the last update they will make for the map and on the day of the conference they will zoom in on a tiny speck which could be either.

Don't have any favorites since both have solid catalogs, however looking at Wikipedia games lists I am inclined to believe that EA is the publisher even tho it is very hard to believe due to EAs policy concerning DRM.

EA have always had an on-again-off-again relationship with DRM. For years they only used CD Keys then they switched to the batshit insane 3 activations, no revocations SecuROM from hell that caused media uproar. Then they allowed revocations with their own tool, then they moved to almost DRM-Free with Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. Currently their latest titles use SecuROM online activation which automatically revokes the activation on uninstal.

Compared to some companies *cough* Ubisoft, EA are not exactly the worst when it comes to DRM.
