AHF1349: I think not including the originals is more a support issue for studios like Nightdive. They remastere the titles with new assets and often you get the option to switch between the old and the new look. They don't bother making the original port of the game compatible with modern systems as opposed to GOG who do exactly that.
There last couple of ND remaster didn't have that option sadly. Switching back to original look of the game. Here the thing if the owner of the IP don't want to sell the original version anymore GOG can't do anything.

You are right, the last titles titles where you could do that were actually by Aspyr but that is not my point. For IPs there are different levels of rights. Let's say you could get the rights for the single game "WarCraft: Orcs & Humans" that means you could sell it, port it to different platforms, etc. But you are *not* owning the WarCraft brand, means you cannot just suddenly make a WarCraft 4 or something like that.

BanditKeith2: I assume the ones behind it figured the options to switch between o.g graphics and new graphics was more then enough was why they didn't include at least the first one given the second game is still up at least for now anyway won't be surprised if it vanishes soon too

JAAHAS: Well they figured wrong, as some of us actually have some, if not all of our older gaming computers still in working condition and thus we would like to be able to run the latest compatible versions on them without having to commit into downloading and keeping every single update for every single game backed up in multiple backup sets until we can find the time to determine which pointless in-between versions we can safely delete, not to mention the fact that future customers with a collection of old computers might also be buying more games from GOG if the older, but relevant versions could still be downloaded for any game that is still sold here.
And I was not saying they was right if thats what they assumed, though the more likely case was more concerned with getting the most money via the newest version even then that'd not excuse atleast throwing in the old version as a extra ..aside from the fact many people would think ''its a extra so there must be official support for it'' when many times devs and publishers would just support the newest version rather then the old version tossed in as a extra/bonus
