kusumahendra: Also
Where are those people who enter same giveaway that wins me Baldur's Gate??? There were plenty, and yet no one shows up here? Where are you people?
nepundo: I might be one of them, although I'm not sure we're talking about the same giveaway.
I entered a previous GA before I had considered the possibility of buying a physical copy of the games. Afterwards I bought a DVD copy of BG I & II, installed it in Windows 7... and it worked. (At least it started from an ISO image, which is also my backup copy. I haven't actually played yet, but I'm confident it will work.)
Now, as much as I would love to own IWD I & II in GOG, I don't want to give any money to Beamdog and I feel bad entering GAs and taking chances off more active members of the community, so I'm not in. I guess I'll end up buying another DVD copy of IWD.
So this is quite a useless post :-D, but I hope it partially answers your question, and serves as a hint to you guys still looking for the classic editions that they are actually available in physical format as a last resort.
Good luck everyone!
It's not a useless post :)
As Bler144 said, giveaway thread is one of easiest place to hold conversation. My most active post is in GA steam edition, and I usually either asking for games, recommending a game, or just small talk. I find it hard to do conversation anywhere but when we are talking about same interest. My successful conversation I had is usually when talking about my favorite games that other people also find it good.
As you see I was hesitating when entering this GA, but I do know that when someone hold a GA, he/she hopes many participants will enter. So I enter in hope other people will follow and we can have a fun Giveaway thread.
BTW, Congrats for the Lady!
