Navagon: You're not being realistic about this. The phrase ice skating uphill exists for a reason.
I'd rather they bring in a regular supply of classics than focus on one that has been rendered almost unobtainable thanks to the almost completely incompatible business models of the two companies in question.
No one part of EA can authorise worldwide sale of any one of their games, new or old. So how the hell are they going to release their games through a service that does not allow regional restrictions? It would mean GOG having to okay it with each and every EAHQ and then pulling that same game from sale is so much as one HQ changes their mind. It's about as practical as a paper raincoat.
I think you and I are in basic agreeement, I was just talking about a one to one trade for SS2 and Settlers. Keeping a flow of old games coming out is and must be a priority, but I just want a little balance between old games we know and love vs old ones that a much smaller number of people even know exist. I've been very happy with the current ratio which GOG has been working, and look forward to more great releases in the future.
...but one can hope for SS2 on GOG someday...
