Indeed. The best way to get big companies make contracts with GoG is by making GoG big and appealing platform for selling their games. It's not done just by going around, saying "Hey, in the future we MAY have these games in our stock". GoG needs to grow by selling more games and getting more games available, and thus getting more famous among the big publishers and thus increasing the likelyness of getting even more games in stock.

Unfortunately, they cannot just wave a magic wand and add these games. GOG needs to track down the copyright holder and convince them. That costs time and money.
then they have to fiddle with the code, which costs money
then they give the copyright holder their share of each sale.
and there is other overhead, servers etc.
My point: They wont be "ONE MEEEEELLION DOLLARS!"
They will certainly make some money. But I often wonder how much of each sale Gog gets, 50%?
Otherwise, I certainly agree! I want to speed up the process! I would love to see everything on that list

In the discussions dealing with Interplay on Steam is was said that GOG gets 15% of each sale as it's cut, and Steam is at 40%. Now, no one has "officially" backed those numbers up, so take it for what it's worth. But with that in mind, the most GOG would get out of it is $150,000.
Granted, the big reason those games aren't available yet is the right holders aren't letting GOG sell them. EA, Lucas Arts, Hasbro (D&D licenses). If you REALLY want them on GOG, purchase a controlling interest in the above companies and you'd get to say what goes on (within reason).

You know, if I could I would :P But we do have open to us a less drastic form of action. All shareholders with certain standing are allowed to propose resolutions at stockholders meetings under SEC rules. If anyone has stock in those companies they could write a proposal that they do business with Gog!

Good luck getting that "certain standing" my friend! :P

lol certain standing is, last I checked $2000 in stock held for 6 months or more. Alot of money to me, being a student, but really small beans to many middle class folks. :) hint hint

This is a website selling old games at 10 bucks or less... what makes you think any of us here are really "middle class" or even make more money than a poor student? Besides, with the market the way it has been, and the game industry stumbling a bit, it is way too risky to invest even a small amount in anything other than your mattress... and the occasional game from GOG.
