Aye, so long as those folks only interested in free stuff don't whinge too much!
I would love it if all games were available through places like GOG, even if that does remove our downloads.
I also feel it's good that such things are in the hands of a team where they can make sure everything works simply for those with new operating systems. In some cases I have heard that they have access to the source code in order to make sure things work correctly. Makes a huge difference compared to just saying "purchase at your own risk", like many PC games distributors do these days.
I had never thought it would be as big a publisher as Activision/Vivendi, blows the mind really. Apparently they are trying to convince Blizzard to join up, which should be easier when they see sales figures I would imagine. Next stop EA, Lucasarts, and the rest...
We all knew how popular old games were, but who knew they could actually still be so profitable as to warrant an entire business devoted to them?
