Not only that. They were actually working up to support it, together with their preservation program but then just dropped it for unknown reasons.

Is it possible they got an ultimatum by an important company they work with?

E.g. imagine the damage Bethesda could do to GOG by refusing to allow their games on GOG any more.

Bethesda

That's Microsoft now. And they've never seemed gung ho about GOG (I can't think of any MS game that GOG listed while MS had control over it). Considering their "Dreamlist" thing and the status of Freelancer on it, I'm sure GOG has been lobbying hard with Microsoft to work with them, though.

Oh shit it is, and is owned by a Microsoft subsidiary that owns all sorts of games on GOG. Elder scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Quake, Dishonored, and more. GOG would be screwed if they pissed them off enough to get all those series taken off!
