Faithful: I can not say for sure, but some of the new games that have come along make me wonder if the publisher demands the $10.00 price point or gog will not get the game.
I look at some of them Jagged Alliance Series for example and think there is no way it is worth $10.00 each. Looking at the images and the release year, 1994, 1995. Same with Disciples: Sacred Land Gold 2001, and now the original UT Gold 2000, they appear on the high side.
I do not think it is gog, but I think it may be the publisher that is wanting the most cash they can get from their previously dead game.
EDIT: Spelling

Few words from GOG.com. We strongly believe in value for money and YES - $5.99 is the perfect price point for older games. Still, the final word is on the publisher's side. We always think, that having some games for $9.99 is better than not having them at all. We will do our best to have more titles for $5.99, we are fighting hard for it.

The concept of having DRM-free games - even the old ones - was unheard of, so when we were approaching publishers at the very beginning it was hard to convince them. Fortunately GOG.com is up and running and the model actually works with more and more content owners (both publishers and developers) is jumping on board. I am sure, that once we build more 'history' with the model an our performance, we will convince even the stubborn ones ;)
We are also working on making the GOG.com's offer even more attractive, but I can not reveal more right now :)
