Guys,is it possible that the Codies might release DIRT Rally here on GOG.I was thinking a lot about it lately.GOG Galaxy has evolved quiet a bit,which could be used for implementing the online part of said game.But the most important part would be the DRM free release of this amazing game.I am kind of pissed that we didn't get Dirt 3 atleast before it got pulled.The only rally game that GOG ever had was Colin McRae Rally 2005,but we know what happend with that xD.Since Dirt 4 is coming,is there any chance for it appearing here.Let's discuss ;).Cheers

I woudn't hold my breath. The last Codemasters release here, GRID (RIP), was back in May 2013. Ever since then, they haven't even bothered releasing a single game of theirs, licensed or not. I doubt a beta client would suddenly change their minds.

P.S.: Since we're talking about Codemasters, Dirt Showdown was also removed from Steam on March 1st.

Yeah,you are probably right.I am really curious as to why there aren't any Codemasters releases for so long.Maybe GOG isn't as interested in racing games lately,or maybe licencing is holding back some of the games that might come here.Cheers
What the hell.....(points up at Grargar avatar) Cousin?

How many feline convicts do we have in here anyway!?

I tell you, this place used to be nice and safe, never needed to lock your doors, but it's all gone to hell since the cats started showing up!

Who knows. Maybe Codemasters isn't interested in GOG anymore.

They have not even released their least popular racing games on GOG; Grid AutoSport and the F1 games.
As a last resort you'd think they consider the DRM-free market. Especially back when they were in financial trouble.
Yet not even then did they release anything DRM-free. Granted, the tyrannical grip of certain license givers has undoubtedly limited them, i.e. Ecclestone & Co.

With Ecclestone gone and the Americans in charge there perhaps might be a slim chance of possibly getting some of the F1 games on GOG ... maybe, if for no other purposes than to market the sport and franchise further, which they have said is one of their major tasks.

However, how well do you think Dirt Rally would sell on GOG ? It's not your average Grid, Carmageddon or Flatout game. If I were Codemasters I would put Dirt 1-3 and the Grid games on GOG before putting on Dirt Rally or F1.

Dirt 4 would probably sell well enough on GOG to be worthwhile for them, but looking at Codemasters' previous patterns and actions it's highly unlikely to appear here. Codemasters seem to be one of those companies that utilize GOG for marketing purposes only, in an attempt to pull anti-DRM people into buying their other games on Steam. Something I'm sure they're not alone in doing.

If Steamspy, Steamcharts and VGChartz are anything to go buy, collectively speaking, Codemasters are primarily developing for the console market. That's where the bulk of their sales are, no matter what statistic or report you look at.
So I don't think GOG is particularily important to them, they sure seem to be pooling everything back to Steam.
