Hmm. Bit of a Alpha Protocol re-release tease in one of GOG's 15 year interviews.

Návrat Alpha Protocol

Pri aktuálnom 15. výročí GOG pokračuje vo svojom záväzku vracať "stratené" klasiky späť k životu. Uvádza do ponuky titul Alpha Protocol, ktorý zmizol z digitálnych obchodov kvôli komplikovaným licenčným právam. Ako však Gabriela vtipkuje: „Sme odborníci na to, ako tieto hry zachytiť, nájsť a obnoviť."

 

Probably not quite as definitive as the autotranslate makes it sound, but you'd suspect they wouldn't use AP as an example unless they expected it as a release.

(Then again, don't think Drakensang: RoT ever turned up and iirc it was in two GOG promo videos years apart)

There's been a number of classic games over the years teased for re-release by GOG that have mysteriously never seen the light of day... Don't think they ever reveal why something that they expected to get done never quite came to be.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

This new announcement does walk back many of the core concerns. For example, if you made a game in Unity in the past, and it was still selling well enough to cross the revenue thresholds, you still won't be charged the runtime fee. Instead, only creators who use the long-term support (LTS) version of Unity released in 2024 - or those who upgrade to it - will be charged the fee.

While Unity has proven that they can change the agreements however and whenever they want, it seems that at least for now, the situation has stabilised.

Fortunately, it's usually super quick and easy for companies to build up the trust and goodwill that they carelessly poured gasoline on before tossing into a bonfire for no reason.

It's hard to believe they went that route after what happened with WotC.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

The mention of Alpha Protocol has been edited out of article 🤔

And it looks like that the autotranslate was made for the creation of the article in the first place… very shoddy work IMHO…

Can someone else watch that video and tell me what it says?

I want to keep pretending I am pure of heart.

Someone did a speed run of a furry hentai insemination simulator. It's convinced me that sometimes drone strikes on civilians may be warranted in some cases.
