Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain seems to be "poster child" material for GoG.com, but I'm wondering why it hasn't been added to the library of content yet. Is there some issue as to who has the right to the Intellectual Property and thus a licensing conflict? Or have the the head GoGites just not got around to entering a distribution agreement with whomever does, in fact, own the rights to Blood Omen?

Well, I recently saw it on the PS Store (Yeah, it's been awhile since I turned on my PS3, cause apparently it's been up there for a while). I don't know how distribution rights are affected when a game is released on a different platform, but I think we can all safely assume that Sony will fight the distribution of the DOS version.

Then who did Warner Bros. buy? I thought they bought Eidos, since they scooped up the team that made Arkham Asylum.

Warner Bros. bought Rocksteady Studios, the developer behind Batman: Arkham Asylum. The publisher, Eidos, was bought by Square Enix a while back.

Ah, my favourite franchise :). Best voice acting in video gaming.
As a Legacy of Kain fanatic I think I should write a few sentences about who owns what, when or why :P.
First of all - I'm 100% sure that the rights to the franchise are now in the hands of Square Enix (unless there has been some secret deal last month :P). The problem is that I am not sure whether they own full rights to Blood Omen 1.
The situation looks like this: BO:LoK was developed by Silicon Knights - a studio that was (and still is) independent. That would mean that they would own the code and the assets. The game was published by Crystal Dynamics (and partially Activision). Later SK lost the rights to the franchise to CD, and later CD was bought by Eidos. CD became the developer and made four sequels. In the meantime Eidos was bought by Sci, that later renamed itself to Eidos plc :P. At that time LoK was put on hold, and CD was entrusted with Tomb Raider. And finally - Eidos was bought by Square Enix and was merged with Square Enix Europe (but it still operates under the name Eidos).
So - the situation with four sequels (Soul Reaver 1, 2, Blood Omen 2 and Defiance) is clear - it's Square Enix.
The case of original Blood Omen however looked like a nasty example of a game with rights all over the place (Silicon Knights, Activision, Crystal Dynamics = Eidos = Square Enix) - until the game showed up on PSN. That means that there is someone that can sell it, and my money is on SE. The publisher in the game card is Activision, but there is something else. Soul Reaver is also available on PSN, and has Eidos as a publisher instead of SE (so it seems that this information only includes original publisher and not the current right owner).
And Sony has nothing to say about the PC version.
I can try and ask at Eidos Headquarters about the situation with BO1, but I can't promise that I will find out anything ;).
Anyway - Vae Victus!
(and I'm still waiting for a sequel).
And it will be an easy win because BO is a Windows title ;) - as I said - they have nothing to say about PC version.
And Arkose is right - Warner bought Rocksteady - a reason why Arkham Asylum 2 won't have Eidos label on it.

Conscience...! You dare speak to me of conscience!?
God, we need more LoK...

Does that mean Warner Bros. is now publishing its' own games, or are they still going through other publishers and attaching their names somewhere, like they did with the first two FEAR games?

that would without a doubt be an instabuy if it ever appeared on here
and a new one is most definitely needed

Warner Bros. Interactive is their own development studio/publisher now. They bought Rocksteady, and they're the ones who bought up Midway.

I still have most of the script in my head :).
Despite all my pessimism I still say that a sequel is just a matter of time (Dark Prophecy was in development before they killed it). I'm just scared whether it will live up to expectations without Amy Hennig (I still can't forgive them what they have done to BO2).
And because this thread needs some great links :)
Soul Reaver 2 Outtakes
One of the best game intros.

Okay, okay, okay, I HATE to dig up old topics, but someone please remind me, why wouldn't cross-platform revival of the old title be more lucrative than the exclusive sale of it on the PSN?
