You seem surprised? Don't tell me you don't know how Sam Fox looks (all of her), or I'll feel _really_ old ... ;)

It's more the fact that I had my own 'bevy of babes' I liked growing up and come from the US where that particular periodical isn't as well known more than you being older(if any) than me. ;)
The GOG staff finally removed Deus Ex and Dungeon keeper 2 from the list

And look what's there now! Thief 1 & 2 no less. So you know what's going to be released next week then. They can now promote them as 'most wished for' titles.

They could promote them as the games that got Justin Bieber into singing, I would still instabuy them. On a side note, I'm playing Skyrim currently like a "Thief lite". Not the real thing, but the taste is simillar and makes you want for more!

Well yeah, but in our case they're just preaching to the choir. GOG have to reach out to the Fraudbook masses to get the sales in. That means making people want these games by telling them they already do want them. Thus removing the burden of thought from their minds and thus falls another obsturction between GOG and their cash.

Are you honestly implying that GOG is using their wishlist for marketing?! I see moar buttsecks in our future... ;-P

(Btw, I just learned "preaching to the choir" as expression, the german equivalent would be "offene Türen einrennen/charging at open doors")

Where did I say it was bad? I merely stated that marketing at the masses was necessary for financial success. Not that financial success was a bad thing, even if it means getting your hands dirty in the process.

That's essentially the same sentiment, yep.

GOG have stated in interviews that they do indeed show the wishlist to potential publishers as proof of financial viability (which only makes hiding it away all the more inexplicable as I'd imagine it would have ten times the votes it has now if they brought it back). I'd imagine that the only remaining publisher that might work on is Lucasarts though.

Other than that they can use it to claim that an upcoming game was one of the most wished for titles. So yes it does have marketing potential. But not as much as it would have if it wasn't buried.

I thought you were implying something with your replies....sorry if I mistook it for something I shouldn't have.
Could a moderator please Remove Thief 1 and Thief 2 from the Wishlist?

Thanks
So...the wishlist was cleaned up

Well done

I'm just a bit sad that my favourite entry was removed: "Oh yeah baby, fuck me harder"

That's because of the vulgar language used. "Oh yeah baby, fsck me harder" would have been OK.
