SideSwiipe: Surprised GoG isn't getting this, looks like Steam is trying to compete on the side of good old games? You should check it this new site that just came out www.GameStreamer.com they've just launched so not too many games yet but they're the first open catalog and claiming they will have over 5,000 games within 3 months.

Okay, that's three strikes. SPAM! SPAM! SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

Man, is the economic crisis so bad that you had to get a JOB spamming that crap on a message board? They coldn't have outsourced it to a bot or something??

Syme: It didn't add anything, except all the stuff it added that you didn't like, so it didn't count.

Nice strawman, how about some valid argument next time?

Mentalepsy: Kinda funny how Lucasarts used to be one of the most respected names in game development.

They aren't the only ones. Companies are basically a name and who they really are depends only of the people who belong to them. Some key people of LucasArts left over the time, enough so that the company is different from what it once was. Same thing happened with Bethesda. If you ask me, it's more fun to check people over time, because it's fun to see that most of them at best lost their touch or at worst went batshit insane. Think of Warren Spector, John Romero, Richard Garriot, Peter Molyneux or Cleveland Mark Blakemore to only name a few.

lotr-sam0711: Be happy that LucasArts is at least rereleasing these games. Now we have a way to get these old games.
They could have not released them at all.
Then again people are always going to find something to bitch about no matter what you do.

You rang?

I'm going to continue bugging their asses on Twitter until they decide to go with GOG to get people like me to stfu.

Sure, I could go on about how far some companies have fallen in terms of quality, but I can't think of many that lost so much relevance without going out of business entirely. Bethesda, SquareSoft, Blizzard, Bioware, Bungie, Rockstar - no matter what your opinion on how their new stuff compares to their old stuff, the fact remains that they're all bigger and more popular than ever. LucasArts, on the other hand, is pretty much just a punching bag nowadays.
Apogee / 3D Realms is a similar case.

In Lucasart's defence, they did actually RELEASE games in the last decade. Many crap ones but some decent
Posted July 15, 2009
Some of these titles have been released on Direct2Drive. Naturally, only those in the US and Canada are invited.
