Grargar: Well, here is the thing; Square-Enix wants control over how they sell their games. Steam gives them that control, while GOG doesn't. For starters, Square-Enix (and actually other Japanese companies) don't allow their games on Steam to be sold in Japan, so neither Final Fantasy III, VII or VIII are available there and since GOG hasn't implemented regional restrictions, I doubt Square-Enix would be happy with GOG being able to sell them. Then, there is the small matter of DRM, which Square recently announced as being responsible for a boost in their profits and that it was here to stay.
I imagine a very similar scenario with Koei, both wanting DRM in their games and regional restrictions.

Check on Google......
!@#$%^&*()
There are some strong words clamoring on my lips unsuitable for the public.
Guess have to vote with my wallet to prove otherwise. Time to check for more kickstarter. SQ can rot and go bankrupt.
