MaxFulvus: Who is ready to buy movies here whereas you can find some dvds for almost nothing in garage sales, second hand shops or with a huge discount on internet?... The GOG movie section is dead, let it rest in peace !

Trilarion: Yes, the movie section is dead although in principle I would be willing to buy movies here if there would be any interesting ones. I mean that this place is as good as any other place and the buying experience so far was sufficiently nice. I would have bought the right movies.

Basically the Movies section on GOG looks like a halfhearted try to realize a mediocre idea and not very surprisingly it failed.
I would buy more of them if they were ever on sale. >_<

Seriously though I don't want to buy movies from Steam as they're streaming only.

Crosmando: It's not a problem with indie films in general, it's that the films GOG has released here are all complete garbage.
are they garbage?

OR ARE THEY THE BEST DAMN MOVIES YOU WISH YOU'D NEVER SAW.



BUT YOU DID.

hedwards: I probably should have worded that differently. The things that are popular enough to be worth having here are unlikely to be available. The things they could license are things that people probably wouldn't want to watch.

Things like the Twilight Zone and Outerlimits are still being shown on TV in the US. Not to mention that most, if not all of them have regional rights reserved that would have to be sorted out.

So, it's probably not impossible in the technical sense, but pretty close.
No, I understood you. I just thought those series (and similar productions) were forgotten or abandoned.
It seems that worthwhile shows fit a very narrow fringe, where they are not too profitable to be explored elsewhere, but profitable enough to justify the "shelf space" at GOG.
And that is ignoring the regional rights, as you mentioned.

That leaves Public Domain and new (indie?) productions as the most likely possibilities.
Big Buck Bunny? Kung Fury?
