I'm hoping GOG will announce they've signed the biggest ever indie game developer group. That way GOG can finally admit that their secret love is in fact indie games or by using turn around logics we'll get many new classic old games releases.
Yes I haven't been really grumpy about this issue for a long time and I need to blow off some steam. Get rid of some accumulated grumpiness. How come I'm not surprised. Steam and others are releasing old games faster than GOG and I wouldn't be surprised if their catalogue of old games soon are bigger than GOGs.
But I stay positive. GOG will win the indie war!

So every time we want a LucasArt games, it becomes an indie game instead? Oh wait, since I mentioned this, is there going to be another delay? Aaaaah!

- Publishers don't want to have their games on GOG, as there's no full regional price control
- Customers don't want to have different prices based on their location
- Presumably GOG is not too happy either compensating the most outrageous differences from their own pocket.
I'm not sure how long this pricing model can work, but so far it doesn't look too promising, as even some of the publishers who presumably could live with the old one-price model, left after the change occured.
So what is left is really a bunch of indie publishers, and of course Disney/LucasArts, who has adjusted their global prices on GOG on European Steam price level.
There are some exceptions, like Cinemaware, but they had their own pricing misadventure with Cinemaware having a completely different prices on GOG than their publisher on Steam... Just say you need to get laid.

Bottom line. Just make it work GOG. If you can't be open about it. There are probably loads of people here that can help.

Indie games are gog's favourite because they are lazy releases. They should work on modern systems without gog having to do any work and they can just pass the buck if they don't, there's very little work involved compared to classic games releases.

Yes, it's weird. So called Indies with regional pricing instead of more of the long expected and long wished for Lucas Arts games without regional pricing.
But then again that's good for my wallet. Because I am voting with it and not buying any regionally priced games.
