El_Caz: You're 11 pages... INTO THE FUTURE!

Change your forum settings to default, or browse without logging in (which I was doing), and you'll see 44. :)

No, if he uses a different posts/page setting.
EDIT: Oh, beaten to it.

No problem my friend. :)
We are all here at the same time, waiting for the same great revelation. Hail GOG!

El_Caz: I suggested that but no one volunteered (even if the post saying we already got it was on page 15). Skimming around I noticed Microsoft suggestions ("unexcelled" pun relevant), EA suggestions with specific games, Mac compatibility and other services (beta ending, improved interface, etc). System Shock 2 and EA is what most people want therefore it's the most obvious and because of that, probably not it. Then again, it could be EA combined with something else, and that could be what GOG means by saying "some people were close and others got it" but I'm leaning towards being something else and trying not to expect too much out of it.
Hype usually kills movies for me and I'm not going to let my own impossible expectations do the same to my game buying habits.

Yeah, i believe You did propose something like that, i think good ideas should be spread.;)
I somehow doubt in that M$ publishing deal. I'm quite sure it's not SS2, even had a nice discussion about that with Navagon.
There were 3 big announcements for 2010, right? Then surely one of them will be a BIG publisher deal. But is a publisher deal [even EA] the biggest thing that happened to GOG since it's creation?
Sure, hypes are bad, especially if they steer people wrong [most PRing sucks]. I remember, not long ago, the hype with Crysis, the awesome tech-demos, and then the final game, which was completely different, apart from the setting. But GOG clearly knows where their countdown, so i guess, when they say it's big... It is big, and it's not an empty PR scheme. I don't think this countdown will affect my judgement and influence a shopping spree, i'm more or less hype-proof, sure, i'm interested, and i try to give my best guess, but i consider it more like fun, a low level detective game.;)
Too bad i was the only person to propose physical product distribution, and GOG producing games, now i can be sure, that's not the case. Oh well, maybe someday.;>

I'm starting to wonder if they're holding off until later in the day, North American time (hopefully only EST, if this is the case).

hmmm...i would say master of orion 2 cause moo1 is abondenware and there is hardly a space 4x game which surpassed it.
Or maybe Starcraft....but the generic star background could be just be there to make things mysterious.
And those are only single games so it doesnt fit that good either.

GOG affiliates will soon know who it is. I'll be sure to not let you guys know who it is. :D

Arteveld: In that case we need a patient person, to sum up ALL the ideas posted before Mikee wrote we've already got it. Then make a little statistic of it, that would show how many times a certain idea was mentioned. And then do a similar job with a few pages before Mikee said we're close/hot [that recent one]. Then compare the newer ideas, to the old ones, and see what filters out. Good luck!:P

Thanks for the effort, but i was thinking about something more complex, as in a number specifying how many times each guess was made, like EA [10 milion] and above that, the recent guesses that Mikee mentioned being 'hot'. ;) Nevertheless thanks!:)
Karmic awareness? Ultima all the way. ;P

I thought I could rule out Ultima because of EA owning them, but after seeing that hint I have to say that sounds alot like Ultima.
