0, it actually requires all parties that have the rights to that game to agree to sell it on GOG.com, and GOG.com to manage to get it working on modern systems.

It doesn't work like that.
Voting for a game just acts as a show of desire which GOG can use to say "Hey look, why don't you release this game on our website, look at all these people who want to buy it".

I think it's not that simple. Votes alone won't make the difference. It's more about licences and crap like that.

None. The votes just allow us to show our interest in GOG acquiring the rights to a game, they have no other impact or function.

EDIT - Sssssssuper ninja'd!

If it worked like that, we'd have System Shock 2 (most wished game here) a long time ago.

votes needed = number of letters in the title of the game / games the publisher already has in the GOG catalogue + 1.

In reality, the only purpose of the voting system is to let GOG know which games the community want them to try and get on board. After that it's down to the various licensing complexities - GOG can only release a game if all the stakeholders are in agreement.

Flipping a coin might be a more accurate measure.

No. Number of votes = value of the publisher's CEO's bank account, in Vietnam Dong (that's roughly 20 000 to 1 US Dollar).

20 000 Vietnam Dongs are worth $1?

Yes, according to this page.

About that, yeah. Wolfram Alpha says 20690. You can round that up to 21000 since 1000 is the lowest denomination they have (the ₫500 note was discontinued a couple years ago... yes, note, not coin).

That's a lot of Dong for your dollar.

If the votes did count then we should've had System Shock 1+2 here 30 times over...

Urgh! No thanks! System Shock XIII well and truly jumped the shark.
