• Wolfenstein 3D

• Age of Mythology
• Alien Vs. Predator Gold
• No One Lives Forever
• Grand Theft Auto 2
• Resident Evil 3
• Diablo
• Soldier of Fortune Gold

Does a bear shit in the woods?
Yeah...skeptical doesn't even begin to explain my reaction to this. Someone shows up and asks about a bunch of games that they don't appear to really have any ownership rights over? Why post about it on the forums? What does that even gain them? To see if people are interested...uhhh...you need to ask if people are interested in games, especially big name titles, being released here?
None of this makes a lick of sense.

To be fair publishers often don't make sense. ;)
several of these would be immediate top sellers and would probably hang there for a while
how on earth do you have the rights to diablo while acti/blizz is still going strong?

be as skeptical as you like i wasn't saying you were going to see these, and you obviously dont have any legal knowedge, which would be hard if you dont know company history. your only assuming we dont have any rights. i posted on the forums bc im a happy gog customer as well and like to inform fellow gog'rs of a cool idea, nothing more. it gains proof that people want them still bc my higher ups dont know much about them. i know theyre big games, they dont know what we have there's a lot of boxes

So these guys spent their money purchasing the rights to something they know absolutely nothing about? And they have to be convinced that trying to actively sell those items would be a good thing? Again, this is just a little too weird to add up in my book.
Besides that, you keep referring to having 'a lot of boxes'. Do you mean that you and your parners bought a whole bunch of retail copies of games? A box of discs means absolutely nothing when it comes to having publishing rights. I own a copy of a good number of the games you listed...that doesn't mean I have the rights to get GOG to distribute them.

There are still a number of classics from Empire Interactive that I would be more than happy to see on GOG. Dreamweb, for instance.
As for Xplosiv's releases (i.e. the games mentioned in the first post), most of them would most likely be impossible to bring onto GOG because Xplosiv only had limited rights to them in the first place. They were just a budget publisher, in a way quite similar to GOG. And just because GOG is publishing Master of Orion 1+2 on this site doesn't mean they can offer it to Valve to sell on Steam.
(there were _some_ original releases on the Xplosiv label, like the Taito Collections)
Edit: Though I can see how original masters of some of these games could be useful to GOG, so I'm sure they'd be interested in talking. And as I said, Empire had a large catalogue - there are still some games I'd like to see from that.

That's what I saying earlier. It's like the SOLDOUT (www.sold-out.com) series of old games. Yes they may have the rights to distribute them but they don't actually have the rights of the content of the games themsevles.

Yep, that looks like the situation to me, too.

actually yes, we do. and to crassmaster i never said we had retail copys thats just a stupid thing to think. we has full master copys. look you guys obviously dont know the rights we have or what we can do. you try to make a good point but its not. the fact is we have then ALONG with distribution rights. yes we have many boxes that weve had for a year that have done nothing but collect dust, but if you want to keep throwing crap at me for trying help help you guys enjoy some good games as well as myself then fuck it i'll throw them back in the storage, if you want to see these MAYBE, just let me do my job sitting there questioning is pointless just be happy im trying

So now you have valuable properties that you're just going to toss aside because of skepticism? Uh...yeah...that really ups the credibility.
Hey, I hope you really do have them, I just don't find that any of this approach makes any sense. Maybe I'm wrong, I HOPE I'm wrong, but obviously I think differently.
9 games on that list
5 of them would be instabuys
2 i'd most likely end up getting at some point.
2 of them don't really interest me but who knows, games shopping sprees and promos and all of that.
So, i'd say yes. If you can, bring 'em.
If this is the kind of feedback you're looking for, there it is, hope it helps.
