    The fuck do they mean they will try?

      It’s legal speech for “we want to however if we straight out say we’re going to do it no studio is going to want to release games on our platform”

        No, it is legal speech for “we think you want that and we think you are dumb enough to believe we can actually deliver that so lets give it a try to pretend we are doing that”.

      The whole thing is vaguely and noncomittally worded, it promises basically nothing.

      Take this bit for example:

      taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it

      In other words: talk to the individual publishers of each game and get their permission :P At which point GOG’s involvement is almost irrelevant, if you have the publisher’s consent then they might as well give you a copy.
