Their font looks exactingly like Apple's font. Kinda ironic since none of GOG's games work on Macs (at least that I know of).
@ObiBunn Kenobi - They work on Macs if you use Wine. (But the games are not officially supported, of course)

I know, right? I got that game after I found out you can download Freespace 1's campaign as a mod and play in a higher native resolution. You can also use your wired xbox 360 controller natively if you don't have a flight stick anymore

See, I thought they already did this, but I guess they are further expanding their list of games. That seems like a smart move.
Ugh, whatever. I have 50 places to go for newer games already. GoG works for me because it brings me old titles. Thus the name. If they want to bump profits, work on better old titles. There is a lot of great old gaming I still want just in the adventure genre that I can't get working on my own. I'd pay $20 per for Shivers 1 and 2. Or System Shock 1 and 2.
I'll take this over Steam. I don't like DRM and GOG doesn't have it.
I'm happy there finally starting to expand.

I love GoG.com's DRM-free purchases, and the extra wallpapers and stuff that comes with them too, but I find most of these old games really don't hold up in my eyes and that makes it difficult for me to pick up on their great sales.
That's why this is great for me. If they could get some newer titles and keep the stuff that's made the service so popular already, then I might just do all my shopping there.

My biggest problem with GOG is the amount of old titles that just flat-out don't support widescreen and won't play windowed, so I basically can't-play-them on my monitor without straight-up screwing with my display settings for one old game I'll likely get three hours out of, tops.
Still better than origins.
@dragoon
Changing display settings takes less than 5 seconds. I get that it might be a small hassle, but cmon.

@dragoon - Usually there's a fix for most games available via the widescreen gaming forums should a gog/steam game not offer that functionality.
Also, gog or steam need to release KOTOR 2 for fuck sake!

Yeah as for the newer games I knew they were coming, did a survey a while back that asked if newer games were carried how much should gog charge. Anyway newer games without DRM can only be a good thing.
GOG is the ONLY PC storefront that I willingly support. Even though most people are heavily invested in Steam, it's still DRM. Fuck DRM.
It kinda is. Look at what happened to the EA users that can't play their games because their forum accounts were banned.
Well, they already kinda sorta started this with Witcher 2 I think (and maybe before that, but I wouldn't know -I wasn't a customer prior to that point).
Any way, what I'm saying is while they surely mean (and surely so does the article title) that they're getting even MORE newer games, not that they're expanding to newer games in the first place.

I purchased Tropico 3 on Steam - but Running steam slows down my (somewhat) crappy laptop, so I've been avoiding making any more purchases. If GOG would have had Tropico 3, I would have definitely gone there first, so this is great news.
My only concern is that GOG won't have a great selection because companies are setting up their own alternatives (Steam, Origin), or signing up for exclusive releases. Still, good news.

GOG is the best.
I hope they could do a partner ship with Onlive and get those old games on Onlive too.
To buy them on Onlive then get a DRM free version on GOG at the same time would be the best.
Play the game anywhere then take the DRM free version and play with PC mods on a gaming PC.
Pure heaven.
Also @Princevaliant: Steam slows down my laptop actually, but it has the specs to run say Half Life 2, but just barely manages. Pirate the game and play it out of steam and it works better, go figure :/
Still love steam though.
Steam + Onlve + GOG all together... Consoles would die instantly PC gaming makes huge comeback. woo ! xD
I can dream...

Hopefully they will grow to the point of giving Steam some competition. And no, Origin doesn't count; it'll be gone in 2 years. Competition is great for the consumer. We've been lucky so far because Gabe Newell is a genuinely good, consumer-minded guy. But if he were to suddenly drop dead, I wonder if Steam would continue to be the fair service it is today.
