Myth was a Bungie production, which is now owned by M$oft, and they don't want to do business with GOG since none of their games are out there, either old or new.

What about Ori and the Blind Forest?

It was originally published by Microsoft Studios and Wikipedia still lists this company as publisher whereas GOG mentions THQ Nordic as publisher on their page. Maybe they pose a sub publisher only for this sales plaform?

Anyway, there seems to be a chance that some Microsoft games can be later released also on GOG.

Yeah, it's weird. On GOG it says the publisher is THQ, while on Steam it says Xbox Game Studios.

THQ has it listed on their site as well.

Freelancer

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that Freelancer is in a licensing hell.

Marathon is apparently owned by Bungie itself.

Similar deal with Access I think. Chris Jones bought back the rights to Tex Murphy years ago, so the entire series is on GOG. Microsoft still owns Links and its descendants, so they're not.

Chris Jones actually said in an interview, that the only reason Microsoft bought Access was because of Links. The usual Microsoft tactic: Since their own product Microsoft Golf couldn't compete, they just bought the competition.
Microsoft didn't really care about the Tex Murphy license at all and let it rot for many years.
As you wrote - Chris Jones was able to buy the license back for this reason, after he left the company.

There's still a lot of stuff I'm waiting for in the games wishlist community subpage, such as Cosmology of Kyoto. Too bad the list is currently being bogged down by some truly retarded requests.

One of my favorite games ever.

Funny thing I remember watching trailers for this game before release and getting pretty hyped about it but I never bothered to get it.

 

[Dodo1610]

FUCK yes!

 

[Ninjerk]

Metal Gear?!

 

[Naraya]

Considering there is a SPACE COMBAT sale ongoing, would someone please recommend me THE best X-Wing game?
I'd prefer to play using KBM if possible... I have a HOTAS but it's such a hassle.
Thanks.

Now's your chance.

FUCK yes!

Interesting.

Also for Castlevania/Contra/Metal Gear, I guess this is the first time we see old console games released on GOG? And even Metal Gear is MSX version.

It's too bad that Konami barely makes new games nowadays and Team 17 are pro Black Murderer Looters.

Well sounds like they are very low effort re-releases, issues from old PC ports intact. https://old.reddit.com/r/metalgears...tal_gear_metal_gear_solid_metal_gear_solid_2/

Also I'd guess Castlevania/Contra collection is not M2's version. Konami Shanghai is credited as developer of that. They probably made the wrapper for game selector or something.

 

[Infinitron]

Is the Castlevania/Contra collection just a partial repackaging of these two Steam collections from last year?

Well actually this is a re-release of a 2002 collection: https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Konami_Collector's_Series:_Castlevania_&_Contra

So another low effort re-release.

(Why they just didn't released last year's much better collections, that's a mystery. Maybe it's one of those cases that Western branch and Japanese HQ don't really cooperate with each other.)

 

[Rahdulan]

FUCK yes!

Real question is how much effort went into this PC version of MGS1 or is that ancient one where pressing ESC immediately closed the game to desktop.
