IronArcturus: Is there a reason why Microsoft never wanted to sign a deal with GOG? I never see Microsoft sell their really old games, so why wouldn't they want the money from sales?
I don't know. It's crazy. Oddly enough Age of Empires 2 and 3 are available on Steam and actually have Microsoft listed as the publisher. It makes you wonder, though, why no other MS games are available anywhere. There's quite a few great ones such as Starlancer, Freelancer, Motocross Madness and Midtown Madness.
Originally Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 were also published by MS but the Steam releases have Square Enix listed as the publisher. That makes you wonder, though, why DS1 and 2 aren't on GOG since Square Enix has already published a fair amount of games here. The MS games seem to be cursed, even if MS doesn't own them anymore. :P
What's even weirder is that Wikipedia states that Microsoft Game Studios was established in 2002 while the Age of Empires article lists Microsoft Game Studios (not just Microsoft) as the publisher. And that game is from 1997. It's one big clusterf***.
