Hmmm Sierra? Would that mean the good old Leisure Suit Larry games would also be available?

I have but one thing to say to GOG:
THANK YOU!

KEgstedt: I'm not convinced, but it's still an interesting guess. My problem with it is that while the developer in question is certainly loved by some gamers (me included!), it's hardly a Big Name even within the genre, and thus I'm not sure it would warrant such a massive teaser campaign from GOG's side.

I suppose your right, but it could be a collection of different publishers/games at the same time.
I'd guess if thats the route they're taking, we should be in for a few other hidden messages.
just a side note, this marketing idea has worked beautifully so far, scan over the posts in this thread and see how many of them are on at the moment...
it like a big gog party :P

That's because it's NOT the entire answer, duh.
As others have pointed out - it suggests, at the very least, Act-Blizz.
And THAT... MEANS... "Lost Vikings" ^^ !
Or so I hope ;P.
Troika is a big "cult classic" company though:
-Vampire Bloodline has a big cult following and rightly so
- Arcanum: same
- Temple of Elemental Evil is a big of a underrated game now that the bugs have been ironed out
They haven't made many games but they were always interesting ones. I miss companies like Troika these days.

I don't disagree with any of this (although TOEE is the only Troika game I really passionately love), but it's beside the point I was trying to make. "Cult classic" is the key word here.

well if it is the wonderfull arcanum, I think the first port of call is to get the outstanding user made patch. it fixes so many bugs... that man deserves a medal :D

Yes, please.
"The return of incredible karmic awareness."
Why does this raise my hopes for Planescape Torment?

Fair enough (in terms of the substance of the reply, at least). Troika does make sense as one part of a larger package. That said, it's worth keeping in mind that Act-Blizz is not the "very least" of anything; it's so huge it could basically mean anything at all in this context. But I guess that's what the future clues are for...

I don't know what the big announcement is going to be, but it sounds like a really huge, BLOATED, mu... announcement!
Maybe it's Atari. The image behind the counter looks like the horizon or infinity, which is unexcelled.

While that seems likely... that answer would provide games that are already available on GoG and elsewhere... Not sure that is the key.

Yep but it's a big name - I think it's more a matter of prestige than anything else for GOG. Troika is really loved by us retro gamers after all. They may only have made a few games but each one has a big following.
Having said that, I'd welcome a patched and fixed Vampire Bloodlines. You need a few patches to make it play well with any system with more than 4GB of memory.

I sense GOGers in search of answers...
Out of interest was a Karma system ever used in Troika games?
