iWi: Thank you (and all the others involved) for your Capcom's most-wanted list. We will definitely work on it.

Bolek: Hm... are you saying that Capcom will be next publisher on GOG? :>

No, iWi was only saying they are working on it. (I doubt it would be the NEXT one...)

trusteft: I would love to see some Microprose and SSI titles onboard one day.

SSI is in the Ubisoft's stable now, so keep your fingers crossed :)

Meh, I ended up snagging both Colin Mcrae Rally 2005 and Megarace 3 after all, even if I won't play CMR, I've spend more on food, so why not pick it up on the off-chance I'll like it =)

iWi: Thank you (and all the others involved) for your Capcom's most-wanted list. We will definitely work on it. As for Operation Flashpoint, we are pushing to have it back as soon as possible, but it will take some more time. We are sincerely doing our best here asking almost every day, but the final resolution is not up to us. I am sorry, but I can not share more at this point.

Oooh, Capcom. :)
I'd like to add I'd also love Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Breath of Fire, and Mega Man.
I know they released Street Fighter II free as a flash game recently..and they're all about digital distribution..
If you are in talks with them that is super awesome!!
Grateful for your efforts as well, you guys go above and beyond.

Mmm... a legal Goldbox set, Dark Sun, and other SSI games in the possible future?? That would be awesome!
Any idea where Microprose stuff landed?? Just curious..

SSI on GOG would be pretty awesome indeed. Maybe Bluebyte also, since they are under Ubisoft as well. Looks like there could be interesting opportunities for the times ahead... ;)

From Wikipedia, I see that they were first sold to Hasbro Interactive, and then were killed off when Infogramers bought Hasbro. Infogramers later merged with Atari, so I'm afraid the licensing rights for the Microprose games may have gone to them. Not sure though.

Buh.
I was just talking about the old Gold Box games with some D&D nerd-friends the other day. If those showed up here, they'd pretty much be an insta-buy.

So I bought Colin and add my little brick to this week bestseller. Personal favourite is CMR 4 but 2k5 is only avaiable :-). Hope fro Dirt in future ...

I just want to thank the gog team for alerting us that a game leaves the lineup (as sad as that fact may be). Sadly, I'm not much of a racing game enthusiast, so this particular week doesn't really give me much value.
Still, thanks on both counts, for the info and the awesome deal.

iWi: It wasn't me mentioning Marvel vs Capcom 2. I just asked if there are any specific PC back-cat titles GOG users would like to see on our site.

System Shock 2 perhaps? (I'm guessing EA holds the rights to that franchise, though if it is in licensing limbo like people say it is then I wouldn't be surprised if SS and/or SS2 never hit GOG, won't stop me from hoping though)
Posted July 25, 2009
Hope always dies last but for it don't stop me fo counting on SS&SS2 too.
Posted July 27, 2009
Disregard this post, I fail at reading. :P
Seriously though, this is why I prefer games that are entirely grown inside the company. Great games shouldn't vanish because car companies get uppity.

Surprise! I said this:
"I agree. It sucks for the people that still don't know GOG and who may arrive after these games are pulled from the catalogue, but for the ones who are already here... Well, I already own Toca 3 and CMR 2005 for unlimited time, so I think it was really a good thing."
Well, now I get this email from GOG:
-----------------------
To attention of all TOCA Race Driver 3 and Colin McRae Rally 2005 owners‏

Dear GOG.com Customer,
Thank you for purchasing TOCA Race Driver 3 and/or Colin McRae Rally 2005 from GOG.com.
As we announced on GOG.com, TOCA Race Driver 3 and Colin McRae Rally 2005 had to be removed from our games catalogue as per our licensing agreement with Codemasters. Due to some expiring licenses within the games, Codemasters is obliged to withdraw copies of TOCA Race Driver 3 and Colin McRae Rally 2005 from all sales outlets within a certain time period, which includes GOG.com and its servers.
This means that the games won't be available to re-download from your GOG.com account as of August 29th 2009 (TOCA Race Driver 3) and October 29th 2009 (Colin McRae Rally 2005). We know it would be ideal for these games to be available for re-download forever and we're working on this, however we kindly ask you to download the games and back them up on CDs, DVDs or flash drives.
Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
GOG.com Team
------------------------------------
Well, am I the only one who feels ripped off? I only bought this games because I thought I would keep them.
First the CD-only Overseer release and now this. For me, GOG doesn't have a flawless track record anymore.

whodares2: Well this whole situation is quite pooey for GOG and it's consumers.
My question is directed at GOG: When you agreed to carry CMR2005 in the first place did you guys know that this day would come? Or did Codemasters "surprise" you folks with this turn of events?
avatar
iWi: Yes we did - this was part of the deal. It could have been better indeed, but I believe having these titles for even limited time is better than not having them at all.

Curiosity: is there a list of games that GOG will be able to distribute "forever" (not to sell "forever" , but to let users that bought them download them "forever") and another one of games that GOG won't be able to distribute "forever"? Can this list (if existing) be made public?
P.S.: forever = until GOG exists ;-)

See their answer <span class="podkreslenie">here</span>.
Rest assured, at this moment in time, we don't have any other games in the same situation and we'll do our best to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again.
