Mikee: Guys I spoke with Cook, and for some of you, we'll have some small gifts. We didn't plan it, but we really appreciate your efforts with guesing and we would like to reward you for that.

Socks! :>

Mikee: Oki,
Guys I spoke with Cook, and for some of you, we'll have some small gifts. We didn't plan it, but we really appreciate your efforts with guesing and we would like to reward you for that.
So, some of you guys can feel a bit lucky right now, I mean: cogadh, tacitus59, El_Caz, antifood:)
Please expect anytime soon (whis week) message from Cook.
There could be some more lucky users. Cook will go through this topic more carefully and look for more. The algorythm of choosing winners is a part of the whole mystery;)
Now, What do you think is the final conclusion? :-)))

So it's definitely Activision ?

xaemar: So it's definitely Activision ?

Sierra i believe, cogadh was one of the first, if not first to mention it.

Protoss: (my emphasis on the quote) This means, there's also some kind of Casino game coming? I mean, he talked about the whole mystery and not only about the mystery of who gets gifts.

Mikee: Hi All,
I wasn't here for a while (busy a lot with other stuff) I'll go through this "small" topic and give you some more feedback. The final hour is close;)

Ok, that's another hidden clue obviously. The Final Hour -> 11th Hour? That would really be a good old game. Maybe Wheel of Time?
Combined: "Choosing winners" and "the final hour" -> S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as in "selection of the fittest"? Final Fantasy maybe, if "choosing winners" can be read as "creating a team".
The truth is out there!

Guys, I really start to be afraid of writing anything, cause I see that almost every word could be interpreted as a clue;)
..So let move to the final stage ("final stage" pharse is not a next hint;) so:
- I won't post anymore clues;)
- I just would like you to write a final conclusion. In fact, it would be the best to see posts from as many of you as possible, to see if there is wide agreement with a final guess:)
Unfortunately, I won't be able to confirm it or give you any more clues. Announcement will assure you if you were right or not. In fact all gog team won't comment too much till the announcement;)
And then, let's celebrate and enjoy a new thing;)
Okay.
Well Mikee's obviously lying.
His whole post is one big clue.
It's obviously Metal Gear Solid.
Duh.
DAIKATANA!
WE WANT DAIKATANA!
PLEASE LET IT BE DAIKATANA!
Final guess: Activision Blizzard (with a focus on Sierra's back catalogue and Troika in particular).
Well, as far as my sh..ty memory goes, tacitus59 mentioned Deus Ex/Eidos. What the hell?:)
Aw, f.. it, Activision, with attention set on Sierra.
Finally, a legal backup for my Quest's. ;>

I have been aware of the countdown for a couple of days. Only TODAY did I find this post / learn about the clues etc.
With all the hype, my hopes are that this is something big like a another publishers' catalog.
Apple and Amazon make money for themselves and the recording labels by selling DRM-Free music. Maybe some big software publisher has finally decided GOG's model would make money for them also.

I'm afraid my only guess is that the words in first twitter post (karmic awareness) is an anagram of "america's wankers", not certain who that would be....

Hey, that is a parody, since that TROIKA thing was too funny. If I'd believe in everything I write on the internet, I'd go crazy. :-)
Ok, my final guess:
I am probably entirely wrong with my guess that console emulation is legally brought to PC but I still would like it so much. Instead, I also go with ActivisionBlizzard because everyone agreed on that.

Why, EA of course. It's all so clear now.

SOLVED! Time to pat ourselves on the back and watch the credits roll.
Good work my crime fighting partner!
It's Activision->Sierra->Troika!
The hints pointed out different games and TROIKA.
- Arcanum will be the first or among the first released...
- ...along with some adventure games, most likely the first Gabriel Knight?
- Homeworld could also be an early release.
