Ghildrean: The old installers already installed the expansions on different folders if they were standalone. They even have standalone expansions on sale, like Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business.
By the way, even before the unbundling, some games were all over the library. Beyond Divinity and Divine Divinity, Betrayal at Krondor and Return to Krondor, Ultima and Worlds of Ultima, etc.
- i don't doubt about that (i don't own Heroes of Might & Magic 5 package)
i was speaking how it is presented in the library
Beyond Divinity is the sequel to Divinity Divinity, so it's a total different game
Worlds of ulima the savage empire & Ultima;Worlds of Adventure 2 : Martian Dreams : 'i'm fine with them.
Betrayal at Krondor & Return to Krondor :
one was one a package with Betrayal in Antara , the other was alone if i'm correct. , no problem either.
Still GOG need to solve the duplicate bonus problem , and the product_bonus_xxxxx.
Ghildrean: And yes, they could have offered each expansion as a free DLC or something like that, but then they would have to maintain different builds for each game.
what are you saying is basically what they did but they decided each standalone expansion should have its own entry instead to have them tied to their respective base game entry in the library.
Since they unbundled those games like this , they have more game installers to create ; my problem isn't there , my problem is the presentation.
Besically they butchered packages they sold , for some it was understandable, but for expansions & some episodic games not really...following blindly a rule for everything is just a bad idea. >
Plus saying those seperate installers will be smaller, it's true if taken seperatly , but if you add the same content to equal an old package it's a lie ie : Heroes Chronicles (the worst case).
