You're turning into a caricature.

Exactly.
I don't understand the debate here :
- Beqmdog is a client of GoG (actually that's disputable ....... let's settle they are in a business partnership).
- A "No-one" used the tools given by GoG to defame (there is no proof as far as I can conceive) them on their platform.
So basically GoG is cleaning the room a bit, which is expected and yet to be commended (it would make other publisher feel awkward otherwise).

Any opinion about Beamdog has nothing to do with this removal.

You really think Beamdog is a legit developer?

Looks more like an asset-flipper / extortionist to me.

I like the fact that they modernized the TCP/IP layer on BG1&2, but aside from that I don't like what they did 'game redesign' wise and I think they make below average software developers.
But that doesn't make them 'parasites' in my dictionnary in any way.

And again, this is all about business partnership and defamation.

My mistake. You're right. Kind of hard remembering things here at the library when you;ve got kids running and screaming behind me. Sorry about that.

No problem. But why are there kids screaming in the library? Isn't there a librarian to quiet them down?

Your blind defense of GOG will bite you in the ass sooner or later but whatever, maybe you like being treated like fourth category customers.
And who are you? I've been around on GOG for quite a while and have always respected its policy but recently they're going the EA/Steam route. And I don't see what's so strange about wanting to have a clear statement made by officials, but explaining that to a sucker like you or Breja who will gobble up anything is pointless.

If you don't want to discuss it then why are you responding to my posts? Fuck logic.

That could indeed be the motto of this thread.

We apologise miss, but all our employees are currently unavailable. Please hold.

sounds of not caring

I was hoping that you would continue the discussion bringing new arguments to the table but instead you ignore all that has been said before and are simply demanding things that are just not reasonable imo. That's why I finally decided to stop continuing this argumentation from my side (I don't like ruinning in circles).

(And this is just an explanation for the fact I don't want to discuss this anymore not a try to continue the discussion instead - so I don't expect you to reply).

Arguably, a good chunk of the negative reviews should be deleted, mostly because they aren't actually reviews of the game.

Examples: A 1-star review that says "I have absolutely no desire to play the EE. Why can't I purchase the original classic separately instead of bundled with Beamdog's abomination?"

A 1-star review that says "I will not support this "enhanced" garbage ."

A 1-star review that says "Stay away from this and buy the old version instead. Because developers on this one... well, they basically send us up to our arsenal."

A 1-star review that says "1/5 for EE edition. 5+/5 for original."

None of these are valid reviews of the game, and only serve the purpose to skew the average score down.

The same applies to 5 Star reviews like
"Loved that back then, great to see it here"
"Nostalgia is big on this one, def needed a remaster"
"One of the best games of the late 90s / early 2000s"
etc...

I don't think anyone would remove those though because no morally questionable corporation would ask for it and we are just cash cows anyway.

Seriously, publishers depend on shops as much as shops depend on publishers, there has to be a balance of power imho.

This is actually not accurate. 10 GOGmixes are displayed by default based on number of votes on the pages of games they contain, and another 10 when one clicks on the "More GOGmixes" button. If a GOGmix has enough votes to make it into the first 10 ones, then it's immediately visible on a game page.

Looking through Beamdog's catalogue, and going by the number of votes this one had, it definitely was among the 10 first ones, hence easily seen when scrolling through the game pages.

From the GOGmixes GreasyDogMeat mentioned as a counterargument, the EA one has less than 15 votes and the others a couple each, hence don't show up even when expanding the number of GOGmixes to 20. I am, however, inclined to think that EA wouldn't bother one way or another even if it was visible.
