Kickstarters for particularly troublesome licenses?
PLEASE BE THIS!
That's what came to mind immediately when I read your post
Kickstarters for particularly troublesome licenses?
After the Witcher-fest, stay tuned for one more sensational message from GOG.com itself. We've got something new coming to our service later this year and we would like to show you what is it going to be all about. It's going to be an exciting time to be with us, dear GOGgers, and we'll be giving you more than just a sneak-peek during our RED/GOG June 5 livestream!

Regional prices take two?
Linux support?
Optional achievements/automatic patching client?
twitch.tv integration?
PWYW implementation (so, asking price or more)?
Hopefully support of other platforms (early computers and consoles) through emulation. I'd spend soooo much money.
Hopefully having a street fighter game on there now means they've changed their minds on that.

Street Fighter on gog? WHAT? Which one?
This will not happen most likely, but would be awesome if it would...
Bad port of one of the worst games of the series, but hey...
A frontend for launching/installing games wouldn't be a horrible thing for them to offer alongside normal web downloads. If they put a lot of effort in to it, it'd probably be a lot less of an eyesore than the Steam client, or any other client on PC really. I've never seen one I liked visually yet, however if they make it like a bookshelf view, and let you manage your own games (add custom ones), while having it integrated in to your GOG account (showing all the games you own there, not just what is installed, and retaining the ability to sort/hide items), that could be something pretty neat I think.
Arabian Nights
I have never, ever known another person who adores this fascinating masterpiece of a game.

Amiga Forever makes it quite easy.

Seems all but certain that the project is a long awaited/requested/speculated optional client. That would make updates much easier, especially for newer games (which sometimes require people to redownload an entire installer file of multiple GBs in size). People would still be able to download DRM-free installers.
I personally hope they don't include any social/friend features.
My other guess is that this might relate to the Linux announcement from a couple months ago.
I missed off the extra text on the subject:
Yeah, still doesn't particularly sound like a conventional release, something else. But it doesn't *quite* sound like a Kickstarter when talking about something "coming to (their) service".
Optional achievements/automatic patching client?
I know at least one Japanese shoot'em'up submitted got turned away because gog didn't want arcade style games.
I think the emphasis on that promo image suggests that they will not be announcing one of the remaining major classic publishers signed. Which is too bad. I'm still holding out hope for LucasArts or Microsoft to sign one day :/
This... strikes me as pretty implausible? There are shmups on GOG right now.
This would be pretty exciting to me. It's a small thing, but the extra difficulty of installing games that are likely to receive reasonably frequent updates is enough to keep me from buying indie games on GOG. A client with background downloads and installs, even if it didn't do anything else, would be huge for me.
Well, someone asked a publisher during a kickstarter:

Maybe they applied back before gog carried them?
Given the game we're talking about (and the scope of sales it's probably generated) I would have to imagine the reason was more like "with our tight release schedule we don't have room for marginal or ultra-niche stuff" much more than "we don't take action games" (though maybe the latter is what actually got communicated.)
I personally hope they don't include any social/friend features. .
Why? I would like some sort of multiplayer system for games that no longer have any servers running and in this case friends list would be pretty nice.

The Arma Series, that is Arma Gold Edition, Arma: Cold War Assault, and Arma 2: Combined Operations (complete with the Operation Arrowhead expansion), providing the ultimate mod-enabled first person-perspective military simulation experience, is available up to 80% off on GOG.com. That's only $8.17 for the whole set of three games, for the next 72 hours.
Important note: This is a last chance promo, as Arma Gold Edition, Arma: Cold War Assault, and Arma 2: Combined Operations will be removed from sales on GOG.com on June 22, along with the remaining Bohemia Interactive title: Original War. If you buy (or have already bought) any of these games, they will remain on your account "shelf", so you'll be still able to access and download them.
There’s a whole new galaxy of possibilities coming towards you, dear GOGgers, and we’ll be giving you more than just a sneak-peek during our RED/GOG June 5 livestream!
I wish they make a client also , its one of the biggest reasons i do not buy more games from them.
I actually prefer the detached experience is it's currently implemented. The lack of a resources sucking always online client I have to keep on at all times while running games like Steam is the biggest plus in my book for GoG. Feels like running applications and games in the old days, detached from the always online crap that is pervasive nowadays.
I can see where you're coming from, however.
Original War, Bohemia's one non-ARMA game on GOG, also appears to be leaving the site. Should I get it now (OSX-compatible on GOG) or wait for a Steam version to pop up eventually (no OS compatibility, but perhaps fixed multiplayer)? Looks like a pretty fun RTS.
I'm in favor of an optional client. I would definitely like an easier way to keep track of updates for the newer indies. I currently buy the indie games on steam because this. I would happily go 100% GOG (well for any game that is on GOG...) if they use a client to manage updates.
GOG.com unveils its upcoming new project taking a nextstep in the DRM-Free gaming revolution.
Nextstep. Hmm, that's a rather obscure reference to throw in, assuming it was intentional.Another tumblr post.

Wonder if they're planning to expand to platforms beyond DOS/Windows now.

We've decided that one of the next steps for us is to support Linux. Now, we're not ready to launch Linux games on GOG.com just yet. [...] getting geared up for a big kick-off in the fall with at least 100 Linux games ready for you to play.
