Good old space games - interview

[centaurianmudpig]

There is an interview with the head of marketing and PR at GOG (by PlaySF) where they discuss the downfall of space combat games over the years and the success they have had with selling them on their site. There is also a brief mention that GOG are trying to secure the rights for speech and add-on packs for released games.

EA tells me there's no problem with GOG including the mission disks. GOG tells me EA won't give them permission.

I have literally yelled myself hoarse at these people.

(And maybe it's telling that GOG apparently doesn't realize they're already selling Privateer and Wing Commander 2 with the speech packs?)
