So Gog promised “One of our most requested classic games is coming to @GOGcom on the 19th. Hint: its name starts with S.”
Which immediately had me thinking SYSTEM SHOCK SYSTEM SHOCK SYSTEM SHO-
oh wait, it’s Syndicate. That’s a classic too! But they’ve managed to set the good news up in the just about the only way it could be end up being slightly disappointing!
(and this isn’t just me, go look at the official GOG wishlist. Shock 2 is in the lead by 5k votes, and Shock1 is next. )
I remember seeing that and thinking ‘People will think that might be System Shock, but I bet it’ll be something else’.
Oh well, I imagine securing the rights to these things is pretty complicated.
