There is some indication Victoria 3 is in GOG's ever growing release pipeline. As to when we'll see a release, that's anyone's guess.

Damn, I'm just waiting for Crusader Kings 3 ;-;

Alpha Protocol should be soon on GOG, source - https://www.sector.sk/clanok/38940/gog-oslavuje-15-rokov-ako-prebiehala-cesta-od-klasik-k-aaa-hram-bez-drm.htm (it's in Slovak, so you either need to believe me :p or you can use translator)

I wonder if they removed the licensed music or renewed the license then.

GOG CELEBRATES 15 YEARS: THE JOURNEY FROM CLASSICS TO DRM-FREE AAA GAMES

From nostalgia to AAA games
Interview

Interview

Digital distribution platform GOG is celebrating its 15th anniversary and plans to celebrate with game fans in several ways. During Gamescom, we had the opportunity to speak with PR Manager Gabriela Siemienkowicz, who revealed what surprises they have in store for us and shared her insights on the platform's mission and its unique place in the gaming community with 15 years of experience.

"We joke internally that we're turning into a naughty teenager. Sweet 16 will probably be a lot of fun, but 15 is an opportunity to remember how much we've done and how far we've come from such a small company," Gabriela began, recalling the times when parent company CD Projekt Red, known for the series about The Witcher, decided to launch GOG, their vision was to offer DRM-free games, which was a new idea at the time.

Over the years, GOG has been a staunch supporter of preserving legacy games. Gabriela drew attention to a recent study by the Video Game History Foundation, according to which 87% of classic games are at risk of being lost forever. “No other art form really dies as quickly as games because of systems that no longer support them. Our goal is to make games last forever. Especially the classics and games from the so-called abandonware and have them available again for users to enjoy."

GOG's commitment is evident in its unique game offering. Gabriela proudly stated, "We have around 150 games that are exclusively available on GOG, including iconic titles like Diablo with the Hellfire expansion and SWAT 4." While the platform does not strive for exclusivity, it prides itself on rescuing such classics and sometimes it even creates game builds itself when developers don't have enough capacity for it.

Freedom to play DRM-free games offline

DRM or Digital Rights Management has long been a subject of debate in the gaming community. Gabriela emphasizes that GOG strives to provide a "sense of ownership" that no other platform offers. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, allowing players to download, share and play offline without restrictions. Players have the freedom to play games under any conditions, for example even during a mountain hike, completely offline.

Gabriela mentioned that GOG offers the GOG Galaxy client, which is packed with features like achievements and cloud saves. Nevertheless, it remains an option rather than an obligation. "Once you download the games, they are available offline," he adds. This ensures that players can access their games even if the company's servers face downtime.

What's also fascinating about GOG is how strongly they believe in trust-based customer relationships. Gabriela cites a low refund rate and a generous 30-day refund policy as evidence of the success of their strategy, and says the company's trust-focused approach started around 2019.

GOG's journey is strongly linked to classic games, and Gabriela recalls its beginnings with cult games that many of us grew up with. It's not just about nostalgia, it's about preserving these classics for future generations. Their diverse library ranges from Heroes of Might and Magic 3 to modern AAA titles like Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

Return of the Alpha Protocol

On its current 15th anniversary, GOG continues its commitment to bringing "lost" classics back to life. It offers the title Alpha Protocol, which disappeared from digital stores due to complicated licensing rights. However, as Gabriela quips, "We are experts at capturing, finding and recovering these games."

She also revealed that GOG will expand its game list to include titles from Quantic Dream, including Heavy Rain, Fahrenheit and Beyond: Two Souls. Although these titles are not old, they have already become cult in the gaming world. Simultaneously with these releases, they will also launch the long-awaited spy thriller Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. “Hardcore fans of CD Projekt RED on GOG will come to know that this is the CD Projekt family. We want to support it, so to speak, directly from the source," says Gabriela.

In addition to the business aspects, Gabriela also brings to the fore the friendly corporate culture at GOG. There is a real love for games and an understanding of the deep impact they have on players. From casual to hardcore gamers, GOG celebrates each gamer's unique journey.

On the occasion of the 15th birthday, GOG also invited its partners to join in the celebrations and maybe choose 15 games that they would recommend to everyone. However, Gabriela emphasizes that it doesn't necessarily have to be old games and it's a subjective matter: "Games are a form of art, but art is subjective." For example, she and her Polish colleagues are big fans of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, and Gabriela jokes that it should be a must play for everyone.

You don't need so many publishers anymore

What's that now, Gabriela? Are you sure?

What part of the UA do you refer to?

3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else.

Probably removed, but hopefully they found a generic song that also fits well and (even more hopefully) there'll be a way / mods to put the Autograph song back in.

Was it just one song then?

As far as I know, though I'm just going by what has been posted in this forum and probably the steam discussion forum

Man I hope all this talk about Alpha Protocol is true, I have the physical disc and a copy of the patch thankfully but getting an all in one offline installer.........

I just love going through the game as a snarky suave sarcastic shit pissing as many people as I can off...... OF course there are other ways you can take........ :)

Three licensed tracks per IMDB:

Wanna Feel It Performed by Vibrolux

Cops & Criminals Performed by Pleasure Club

Turn Up The Radio Performed by Autograph

Turn Up the Radio is the really obvious one, and the one that it would be more thematically challenging to replace since the scene it's used in is plot critical and the song choice is character related- and you can play it at your hideout once past a certain point. Shouldn't really be too expensive to relicense a #17 song from 38 years ago. I played AP multiple times and have no idea where the other two were used...

Speaking of SEGA games. There's a game I'd love to see come to GOG. Surprisingly, I have the impression that a lot of people have forgotten it but GOG could make the request to SEGA to release the game "Comdemned criminal origin". As someone who really likes Monolith games, I'd be delighted. Maybe GOG could even release the 2? It was never released on PC, unfortunately. It would be a great exclusive for GOG if they manage to work on a PC version.

I will never forget that fantastic game, and I would be as pleased as you to see it here DRM-free.
