3. Spectre is a big game hoarder and is also active in checking games, so yeah.
4. Capo is old member and knows about all this.
5. Thank you for being active and keep it up

I mostly wanted to type the correction No.1, all others are just fillers really
Also I don't wanna make you feel like you did something wrong for saying that, just letting you know. I'll reply to you about Rome later today.
I am sorry, but I did not know this (No. 1 ~ No. 4) for being absent for almost 5 ~ 6 years in the Abandonia Forums even though I participated in the Daily Screenshot Quiz incessantly. Sorry Capo (not Japo nor Paco ).

Capo (not Japo nor Paco) is agry!

3. Usually, if such game sells on GOG well, the same right owners double the same game on Steam.

But it's all off-topic in this theme, I fear...
But I liked the information. That is very interesting information, but why has not GOG.com even made Gods, Dune, Dune II and Dune 2000, Flashback available on online store?

BTW, Steam released FFVII and FVIII. I remember I could run FFVII on Windows XP using a patch.

Because they need rights owner permission, of course. Also, no way for Flashback, I believe. They re-launch it every five years or so. Last one is this one.

These are not the same games, but remasters, I believe.
