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!

WTElessar: Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the first Metal Gear Solid's rights belong to Microsoft. (:

Nope the trademark is Konami, Microsoft just had a license of use.

During the Spring Conference Take-Two Interactive was mentioned as one of the big five, now in its place there's the subsidiary 2K Games: isn't the change a bit suspicious?

As long as they get Full Throttle on GOG ASAP I'll be happy :P

I'd be over the moon if it was EA or Lucasarts but I'm feeling that it will more than likely be Lucasarts since they've always been the PC gaming company everyone remembers from their youth. Or maybe I'm just being nostalgic in my old age.

Also: Can Thursday just arrive already?! It's like waiting for Christmas!

Delixe: Compared to some companies *cough* Ubisoft, EA are not exactly the worst when it comes to DRM.
Truly not the worst, but when you think about who is more likely to accept a DRM free contract: LA or EA? :)

In any case this summer will be a blast just thinking about the possibilities: Undying on one side, Day of The Tentacle on the other.

Neverhood and all other Dreamworks Interactive tiles are in EA's hands actually.

Hope not. That would be Broderbund, and that's what, now? The Learning Company?
I know their PoP is Ubisoft. So, unlikely. Broderbund though, had a HQ in Novato, same as 2K.
I'm just making confusing guesses on the latest comic.;)

More wild speculation. Staying with the popular LucasArts theory, those sphinxes pretty much scream Zak McKracken.

Love the giant scorpion joke.... good old Australia, where if an animal isn't poisonous it just means it is venomous instead ;)

Maybe locations first letters are significant? M R, C E, A I, S A - AMERICA S(AN FRANCISCO)?
