Yep :) GoG could do that easily enough (if they were to get the games that is). I still play the original games from that Collectors edition. I do wonder how many old game lovers are left that do not also still play them, so that might be a consideration in terms of GoG making extra effort (if it is looking hard, as it seems it is?) to get them?

The GamersGate X-Com bundle is already on my wishlist. I'll get it there if I can get it heavily discounted, as I already have the retail X-Com collection (missing only the last game on the GG/Steam bundles). I know I should give the games another try, I got fed up with the tactical land battles before (in X-Com 1 and 2).

Edit: Just been informed of a slight correction here - apparently THQ owns the rights to the Red Faction franchise, and Volition owns the rights to the games themselves. So THQ would have to get on board with Volition first.
The laugh of it is that 2K did actually have the audacity to implement CEG *in* the DOSBox executable, even though the Windows executable hidden within the SteamApps directory (which, may I add, doesn't work on Vista or Win7) is DRM-free and the DOS files can be extracted with no harm and no foul. This applies to Enemy Unknown, Terror from the Deep and Apocalypse. Enforcer and Interceptor - lest anyone actually be interested in these games - are CEG'd though.

The nice thing about getting these games to GOG would be access to fairly reliable tech support.
I don't know much about GG, so maybe their support is not bad. From what I know about Steam support, you're better off on your own usually.

I can, but why don't you get in on the Twitter fun as well? Maybe you can track down the original team that created Sacrifice and convince them with your tweets to reunite for a Kickstarter campaign to fund a sequel.

2K is very supportive of region locking, which GOG is against. So none of their games will show up here until THEY change their attitude.

I'd love to see the x-com games for sale on GOG, along with 2k's other games, mainly because I want to play them and i'm adverse to buying games from steam that aren't on sale.
Still, if anyone's interested i've been looking for a trade for the x-com complete pack. I have Half-life 2, Torchlight, The Ship and Nuclear Dawn to trade through steam plus a few spare humble bundle steam codes that are sitting unused
