Would Origin count as both publisher and developer or were they just devs? Because there are a million games of theirs that I want.,...two of them have this guy, you know, in a red combat suit that just screams "I......will kill YOU".

Origin was both dev and publisher, but they did release a lot of games using secondary publishers, most notably EA.

EA would be the holy grail really because they might finally be able to sell me Syndicate, Powermonger (with WW1 expansion), Populous... well all of Bullfrog's games really.
Frankly if they got EA's entire back catalogue, I'd expect GOG's membership to triple within a month

Well, Lucasarts would be fantastic. But games from old developers EA bought would be even more fantastic. I really grieve for the good and creative studios they destroyed. But would EA agree to publish the games without DRM?

This is interesting (from the GDC website):
"Also now confirmed is a 'Risks and Rewards of New Territories' panel, with CD Project co-founder Marcin Iwinski and Sega localization producer Rio Hasegawa discussing "the advantages of opening new territories and the challenges associated with localizing game content for [emerging] markets." "

GDC 2009 Reveals Localization Summit Specifics).
(the info is also present at Gamasutra) [url=]http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=21487[/url]
However, if you go directly to the "(103) Risks and Rewards of New Territories" on the GDC website, it says nothing about Marcin being present.

So perhaps it has changed, or they simply left out the information from that particular webpage ?
