Mikee: Guys, I really start to be afraid of writing anything, cause I see that almost every word could be interpreted as a clue;)

Who do you think we are ?
Wait a minute... "clue" ? Could it be that game ?!

Well, I think its obvious that my guess is for Sierra/Activision, but I secretly hope the multi-publisher guess is right, in which case I'd also have to guess EA.

What am I supposed to be seeing?
EDIT - NVM, I just needed to zoom in a little to see the detail. Apple tablet support... interesting.

I vote for ActiBlizz and sierra games. Although I would love to see more than one new publisher arriving here, ActiBlizz + EA would be pure joy.

As i mentioned it before:
I hope this publisher deal will be GOG exclusive.

...seriously?
If the addition of mac support is the big deal...
...well, that's going to disappoint 90% of their customers, methinks. Since right now AFAIK they only offer PC games. Hence, WE are PC gamers.

Luned: Cogadh has repeatedly made the point, and El_Caz to a lesser extent, that it's a publisher not a single game. El_Caz has stated that it might be one or more publishers, or a publisher plus some other feature/announcement. Both cogadh and El_Caz specifically mentioned EA. Haven't spotted antifood's post yet.
However, it's also possible that the awards were made by picking a random thing like "Post X on Page Y." :)

When I read Mikee's posts I also thought that by mentioning my name and others, that we were somehow right, but our guesses went all over the place just like everyone else's and then he mentions the "mysterious" algorithm they use, which makes me think we were picked at random and we were indeed, lucky.
I still think we're getting a duo of some sort, more likely a game duo than a publisher duo, but we'll see.
Edit: But what I'm really sure of, is that if this countdown generated this much expectation... the website is going to crash at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. :)

Same here. I didn't stick to any one guess, I just debated the merits of each clue's guesses with everyone. I think we were probably the most active posters in the thread, so maybe "the algorithm" was just a matter of who participated the most.

Mikee: - 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:)

Nothing new in this post, just my guess and justification for it, in case there are more prizes! :P
"The Return Of Incredible Karmic Awareness" + clues about Arcanum means that Troika is involved.
"A messenger is not named for a soldier, but precedes one" could be Gabriel (messenger) Knight (Soldier) => Sierra.
Currently, ActiBlizz owns the rights to both catalogues, so that's my guess. Would also explain the two characters (A and B) that complement each other beautifully.
[edit: oops, typo in one of the clues.]

Look here (sorry I was too exited and posted a link to a tweet):

How are they going to make older games compatible with Mac Tablet, can't believe it...
Posted January 27, 2010
Or maybe...they threw goldfish at a tablet pc until they accidentally quoted people's posts!

But then again, tacitus and antifood fail that criteria. They posted less than I did, I think.
