Tarm: If GOG made a Trading forum half of the problem would be exiled to a weird corner somewhere I'm not going.
Quite possibly, but we all know they're not going to (one because they don't officially support trading and two because they don't really care).

Unfortunately that's true.

Klumpen0815: Reasons:
- most of the great ones have already left (some recently without many people noticing)
-> I'm available via eMail for those
- the infamous Erdogan thread
- the troll friendly rep system/exploits which won't ever get fixed as it seems
- the athmosphere is rather lacking manners and good will too often (moderation wouldn't help much though)
- scammers everywhere
- I really miss the old PM system and am still annoyed by old conversations there being lost forever as it seems
- no more classic Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale without the remakes
- regional pricing everywhere, now also for Don't Stave (at least the addon and the complete set)
-> the massive Russian discount being the most absurd thing about all this and still no honest reasoning for it
- Linux gamers still treated as third class (Linux ports of many games still only available elsewhere, no new DosBox and WINE packages anymore as it seems)
- head and hands full with my two jobs and my increasing musical activities
- don't have enough free time for boards and gaming anymore, so one has to go - easy pick

As always I'm still open to help people out with anything I can but I won't look into threads anymore and unfortunately I don't know if there's a way to get an eMail notification for getting a new chat message so I may only notice when updating my backups.

I know that some people here see me as their enemy but I don't do this with anyone.
We all have our personal problems and a lack of tolerance and patience with something which always gives us the chance to improve.

Peace
Goodbye? Who are you? Thanks for a drama thread?

First McHack then Klumpen0815.
And many of old regulars either have left or significantly reduced their forum activity.
I hope when GOG bring some good change then we will see you once again!!!

Till then good bye brother.
Live long and prosper.

Can I have your stuff? Also what's with the no more classic Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale without the remakes? All classics are still available and it only makes sense for Siege of Dragonspear to require EE. Or am I missing something else?

The classic versions of Baldur's Gate 1+2 and Icewind Dale 1 will be merged with the Enhanced Editions and you will no longer be able to purchase them separately.

It's so difficult to balance engagement and distance from something / someone over whom you lack influence / control. Things are rarely the way we wish them to be anywhere in this world. It's hard, very hard for anyone, moreso for specific personality types.

I'm sorry to see you choose distance, but understand and wish you well - unlike other such situations I'm only sad, but not really worried particularly since you mention being busy professionally and with other hobbies.

Anyway hope you find some time to stay in touch so to speak. :)

All the best

PS: If you ever cross the border, drop a line - I'd be honored to buy you a beer

So it this going to be another of those fused versions where you can switch ingame to the semi original version or are both versions going to be available for download separately?

To be honest, I found the first phrase quite funny, but seriously, he's leaving and you're asking for his stuff?

I see. Given classics are half the EE price it's probably not the best move. On the other hand to be fair I don't think GoG had any other option then comply since it was Beamdog's decision .

My bet is that they will become a bundled release, hence the naming Definitive Edition Bundle.

This is why Trolls and certain aggressive personality types are so prevalent and hard to stamp out on the net. They have no problem keeping internet activities separate from "real life", distance as you said and don't care much for how others feel. Me me ME is all that matters and everything is measured by me!

Well at least the original versions won't get lost that way. As long as I can download them separately im ok with that.

Edit: But on the other side I can understand Klumpen's reasoning. If its going to be a bundle the price will be inflated several times going way high.

It was obviously a joke. Doesn't make much sense in this environment where you can't pass stuff on someone else, but still.
