I see Steam is getting Rayman Origins this month. Any chance Rayman Origins will be available to purchase from GOG?

I doubt it, if it's already on Steam. I believe GOG simply does the games that aren't on other DD* Sites.

Hmm, that would be a shame. I was hoping they'd get Rayman:Origins and Trine 2. There are games on both though, like The Witcher 1/2. Beyond Good and Evil, etc.

I believe I had read thay were going to try and get some newer releases.

I really doubt it, simply because it's not "old", but still it's a great game, in my opinion the best Rayman game ever made (and probably the hardest).

It'd be nice if it gets a release for GOG, it already doesn't have any DRM, beyond the standard Steam check.
I doubt Ubisoft would want one of their newer games to be DRM-free now. Even though GOG has newer games now, it'll still mostly be indie games. The Steam version is great, though. It doesn't use Ubi's horrid DRM, but it doesn't have achievements like the console versions.

Retail versions of Rayman Origins are already DRM free.

And I can confirm that having just about completed the PC version now. Unlike From Dust which was supposed to be without any DRM but turned out it just wasn't any of the traditional DRM solutions, this one genuinely doesn't seem to carry DRM from the disc.
Installed the game on laptop from DVD drive, took out the DVD, ran the game. No CD-key or activation or requirering the disc to be in drive during play or anything. Only thing is an auto-updater checking if there are updates available if you have an internet connection and asking nicely before doing anything.
Consider me impressed.

And a game being on steam hasn't stopped gog before. Psychonauts and Legend of Grimrock being two examples off the top of my head. More likely the price point which might be tricky. I know they have a new pricing structure so they can go beyond their traditional $6 and $10, but I have no clue what Ubi would like it to be sold at. Just know I held off buying it because I didn't believe their "no drm" claim. Then stumbled across it in a bargain bin at ~$18 and decided to get it and live with any DRM since I hadn't heard any huge outcry.
Steam acts sorta like a kind of DRM, which is why I said that Ubisoft might have a problem with it. But what do I know? The guys at GOG may already be brokering a deal and this current sale is a prelude to an announcement? Wishful thinking perhaps.
