Am I the only one who desperately wants the Origin Catalogue? Nobody seems to mention it...
Wing Commander, Ultima and Crusader games are some of the best good old games I can think of.
You're not the only one who wants it, but you do seem to be one of the few who desperately wants it. I don't think anyone would complain if, for example, the Wing Commander games showed up here, but there are other games that seem to be of higher priority at the moment.

I see, but what about the Ultima games? If I remeber correctly, it was subject to cult-following back in the day...
Origin's games would be awesome. And I'm sure we'll get them some day.
For now, though, I'm very happy about the Activision deal which will no doubt give us plenty of great stuff.

Some of us are still huge fans of the Ultima series. :)

cogadh: Wow, very cool. More language support, expanded price points, another big publisher announcement, about 20 Activision titles in total coming, possibly some kind of Mac support... its going to be a very big year for GOG.
"German, French, Polish or Russian"; I hope they support more languages than these, like Italian and Spanish.
Very exciting to see GoG finally taking off this year! :)

Let's hope they don't lock it to IP-class because just about everyone I've talked to in Europe (Nederlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy) about this feature would rather have a default of English. Ditto for games, as, as one wag put it, crappy regional voice-acting for games tends to make for poor games than those made with English voices only"....
Basically it's EA or LucasArts. I could see it being either based on things GOG has mentioned in the past. Hmm. I'm going with EA. Before they said, "We can't discuss conversations we may or may not have had with EA..." This was quite a long time ago, so would fit with the timeframe..i.e. took a long time for Activision, about the same for EA.

I wonder if I'm going to be allowed to post this now? No wonder this thread died.
Anyway, yes, unless the GOG guys are aiming to disappoint it will be one of those two. Personally I don't know which is the more likely. But obviously I'm hoping for EA.

Weclock: Squeenix with FF7 and FF8 ...

My god, the sheer amount of cash this would get them...
