Sadness: gog.com (goodoldgames.com) has closed its doors. - Edit 3

For those who don't know, gog.com sold older games for fair prices with no DRM. They had a good selection with quite a few industry partners, too. Not a lot of explanation on their website, just "we can't keep it going like this." It's disappointing to see them go, because they really had a great operation going.
Ah well.
EDIT: Kotaku seems to think it's a marketing stunt to prepare for a relaunch, or some such thing. I'm not so sure, myself. The message on their homepage is pretty clear. If they DO relaunch, I can't imagine it'll be anything like the current site. Kotaku link, for those who want to check it out: here
EDIT 2: *SIGH* It's looking like a PR stunt. They've got a new youtube video up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDRvuKjissQ. According to internet nerds who research these sorts of things, several of the background images that flash by show a site design that they haven't had in the past, and titles that they've yet to offer (such as Baldur's Gate).
Ah well.
