I agree with Japo here. Just a few thoughts from me: While the main idea behind GoG was to have good old games available, GoG is also a business that needs to be flexible and as such, they want as many games as they can get their hands on, to sell, to stay in business. As far as AB's "mission" is concerned, like Japo said, it too has changed and for me personally, AB is now about making sure games that are under threat of disappearing altogether, are still available to be played. I'm not bothered in the slightest that GoG or any other store make money on it. The important bit is, these sites keep old games alive, just like AB attempts to do. We're basically in the same "business" except we're not making money out of it. If GoG gave new games a miss, then that would be bad for their business and if they go down, so does a (legal) source for old games.
