First, I'm sorry if a topic about this subject has been posted before. I tried to search for it, but couldn't find one, so figured I might as well create it:
The purpose of this topic is to have a place where we can put out your best guesses and speculations of which publisher or developer might join GOG next. This is only for fun, so you don't get a prize for being right (unless someone is in a giving mood). Also, this is not supposed to be a direct wishlist, so let us try to keep it real; it would be good if you could state your reasons for why you think that particular company might be next.
I'll start with my guess, which is Novalogic. The company has had very few new releases the last few years, so posting their old games on GOG could help generate some revenue. They have never really appeared to me as a company who are too fanatic about DRM either, and most of their games look like stuff that would fit excellently into the GOG catalogue. To me, they look like the perfect bedfellow for GOG, and frankly, I'm surprised the two haven't gotten busy already (or maybe they are, and we just don't know it yet!)
Their games include tons of various flight-simulators such as the "F-22 Raptor" and "Lightning" series, along with "Commance" combat helicopter sims. They are probably best known for the "Delta Force" series of military first person shooters though, and not least the cult-favourite "Tachyon: The Fringe" space combat simulator. There's a total of about 20 games in their backlog, most of them released before 2005.
So, let's get the bets out on the table! Who do you think is coming up next on GOG?
