tfishell: Actually, unless I am mistaken, the last Good Old Game we got (depending on how you look at it) before Akalabeth was AvP2000, released (for purchase) at the end of November.

misteryo: I count 34 releases in 2014 from 2000 and earlier. That's around 1 per 10 days.
Is that info based on jmich's list?

We should also consider how GOG likes to schedule new releases, a bunch of LA games could already be available for purchase if they wanted to.

I'd rather not go into theories, but look at the results directly. The results are fewer pre-2K games, but overall the same amount of releases as 2013 (and maybe a bit more).

Caine123: well with all the recent new releases and sales i dont see really many old games released :(
i would be happy if more and more dos games/win games would be released even more. i dont think all publishers were asked yet?

there is just so much left :(
new games become old games, take it easy...
