KOCollins: Some Paradox games, they are mostly DRM free elsewhere (gamersgate) so I don't see why the company would have a problem releasing them DRM free here too...though of course some would be dissapointed with these releases since they can get them elsewhere DRM free. Understandable. Of course Paradox games aren't truly AAA titles, but, in my world they are. =D
Truth is DRM has been big for so long, it's going to be hard for these big companies to release them DRM free even 3 plus year old games I'd imagine.
Though I don't understand why not, since pirates have no doubt downloaded those games long ago already...But you know, those guys are kinda blind to common sense sometimes. Here's hoping GOG can splash some vodka in their eyes, and on all their little charts that tell them this is how we make the most money: DRM for life! ;-P
Problem with Paradox games are the DLCs. Most of their recent titles have tons of minor DLCs, and they combined up to a quite significant price. Since GOG is not going to sell DLCs separately, it is not likely to see the new Paradox games here unless all the DLCs are ignored orI GOG decide to sell non-standalone expansion pack and DLC compilation.
I think those $15~20 dollars ex-AAA titles, such as Assasin's Creed 1, 2, Total War: Rome/M2, Bioshock 1, 2, are something we can hope for. Of course they will also need to sign the publisher.
BTW, Ubisoft is selling quite some DRM-free games recently on Amazon. It is actually possible to get their newer games (not the newest) here.
