Rock Paper Shotgun posted an article that Dark Messiah of Kicks and Ice Floors is now 10 years old. And universal opinion seems to be that it is a good game. So why isn't the game on GOG yet?
I love that game. Yes, it's linear. Yes, it has a lame plot - none even. But I love playing and replaying it. I hope it comes here but I doubt it will anytime soon.
Since it's a Source engine game I'd say its chances somewhere between slim and none

it had a physical drm-free release when it first came out.
Huh.. the more you know... :P

Still wouldn't hold my breath though

If I remember correctly, it even had a DRM-free download release for a while.

Because GOG officially stopped being Good Old Games about 4 years ago, and because being a store that sells good old games doesn't magically make all games available to you just because they're good and old. But you already knew that. :P
Maybe because the game's multiplayer requires Steam and Ubisoft:

1) Isn't willing to sell the game without multiplayer
2) Isn't willing to do the work to port the multiplayer to Galaxy.
Because an article on Rock, Paper, Shotgun declaring a games age is all that is needed for it to be sold here. Riiiiight...

Consortium is also a Source Engine game, if I'm not mistaken, and we have that here as well.
I would REALLY like this game to get to GOG. Back then it was fun. :)

Also, we need Alpha Protocol (hey, last patch already made this game DRM-Free - ready for GOG!) and Jericho (already have Undying and Jericho is much better that first part of Clive Barker's seriers in my opinion). Oh, and also Vietcong+First Alpha+Red Dawn. :)

Dreams, dreams... :(
When I read the title I thought that Dark Messiah was going to be released on GOG and got a little hyped... (:P)
That would be really nice, though, to finally have that game in these lands...

There is a wiiiiide ocean between knowing and accepting. Also, there are some GOG team forum lurkers here. Reminding them once in a while that this game exists and would be a logical addition to their catalogue can't hurt. And I bet some GOG team members like this game also und would love to make it available to us here.
Always wanted to try this game
