icepowdah: The will announce that BIRD IS THE WORD!!! and many many LucasArts games!

Hesusio: Why would they need to announce that? Everybody's heard that the bird is the word.
:D some people need reminding them of this I guess
They'd never announce that they're getting a new major publisher plus 8 or 15 other publishers and just list the entire list possible and included publishers and all.
Duke Nukem Forever got delayed again.
Biggest announcement ever means largest publisher to date. That's probably Electronic Arts, which as of the last time I looked (quite some time ago) doesn't really do much distribution of the older IP they hold, and could make at least some money that way. Plus, EA has never that I've known been hesitant to give someone else the job of making their games work. ^_^

But to make it even better, I'm hoping for a contract rider that makes LucasArts buy Square Enix and bring all the combined games to GOG, delivered by magic jedi rainbow ponies. A guy can dream.

Odonnell435: For the past few days we've all seen it. The countdown on the front page that is slowly ticking down to zero. What kind of announcement will be made once the clock hits zero?

Will they announce the coming of several sought after games like (please let it be System Shock 2!)? Is it the end of GOG as we know it (probable not)? Then again who's to say right?

So here's my question to all you fellow GOG'ers. What do you think the announcement is going to be about?
This was just intended to start joke speculation, right? We've known all along what the announcement really will be, they've only been teasing this "big announcement" since January. GOG is adding one of the biggest sought-after publishers to their catalog this week. It's going to be either Microsoft, Lucas Arts, Electronic Arts, Square Enix or Take2 (or as some have speculated any combination of those publishers, including all of them). They told us this much as recently as two days ago.

kodeen: They've been acquired by Valve for the purpose of facilitating Gabe Newell's introduction into the porn industry.

Odonnell435: alright, alright.....can we please get off the porn subject......realy don't want this thread getting locked down (I know it's a joke but the mods may not think of it that way, sorry).

Don't even JOKE about such a thing!
Cogadh "This was just intended to start a joke, right?"

This isn't so much a joke as it is just out of curiosity. I just wondered what other peoples take were on this event. Some of the responses so far have been pretty funny.
Whatever the case, wallets will be raped, bank accounts pillaged, and the soil salted.

Sadly, this is true....but it will feel good afterwards so there's that.

Salting the soil is good for it. It helps improve the taste!

Skystrider: They have been acquired by EA. CDP Red will be making System Shock 3.

Yeah.
This would be better than IG making the sequel.... Actually there the only developer i would trust making a sequel to it.
I'm guessing the big announcement will be "The big publisher is... one of these three companies! We'll announce which one in August. Neener-neeener!".
