Of the games there that I know I agree.
Except Syndicate: American Revolt and the Atlantic Accelerator level in Syndicate-- They annoyed me a large amount :p

Who owns the rights to the games now? EA?

Yep. But the thing is that most of the Bullfrog games are considered "Abandonware" which means its not sold on the market anymore. If GOG could talk EA Into a deal for the Bullfrog games I'm sure they wouldn't mind a little extra revenue.
EA sure could use the extra revenue, what with losing $350 million dollars, sacking 600 employees, and it's stock going well.. south.
buncha punks.
I absolutely loved Dungeon Keeper 2. Definitely a good game to add to GOG's offerings.

being not sold on the market does not make game abandonware. they are copyrighted materials.
while i doubt EA (or any other publisher) would recognise the term Abandonware, once a game reaches that stage it does tend to man that the publisher is no longer receiving any income from it.
I think pubs would be much more likely to consider GOG for games that aren't making any profit, than for games they are still selling..
I love Theme Hospital, still have it on disc.
Wouldn't mind buying Dungeon Keeper.

Aye, 'abandonware' is not a legal status. Can't see EA agreeing to have their games on GOG. Can see them blatantly copying the idea of GOG and adding DRM, though. And jacking the prices up. And anally raping you.

Bullfrog is great, and I would DEFINITELY buy those right there if they were on here.
EA has a development team working on a new Syndicate game (although I am sure it will be a first person shooter!). EA would never let GOG release any title they have control of. With EA it would be a principle thing. Don't look any time soon for any title owned by EA to appear on GOG - unfortunately.
Oh the things I would do to relive the awesomeness of Hi-Octane!
