DeadWhisper: Then I'm confused. How do you only get 1 copy if you buy it from GoG but more than that by buying it from the Beamdog site?
easy. when you buy it here you only get the EE in your account and the original version if you don't already have it.
if you buy it from the beamdog site you get a version that you can download from beamdog server and you can also request a steam key (both EE).

1st time I see a com' manager with negative rep lol
The text on the game page has finally been changed to:
About: Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition includes the unaltered original version and the Enhanced Edition in one definitive collection exclusively on GOG.com. (The original version will be automatically added to your account after purchase.)
I would have been more clear about the fact that you won't get another copy if you already own it, but at least it's now clear how the game will be delivered and you can correctly assume from that.

Yakkuz: Let's not hide behind words, LiefLayer believe he|she is entitled to a gift key BECAUSE he|she is basing on the previous cases, since there is no new comunication stating things are changed.

If you've always drunk sugar-free coffee since i know you and you don't clearly tell me you want your next cofee with sugar, i'll bring you a sugar-free one and my assumptions will be legit.

That's the point.

GOG could sell any product the way they want, but they NEED to inform the customers that the previous policy changed, otherwise is bad advertising.

And if people ask a refund due to this, it would be fair to give them a full refund, since it's a communication mistake that needs to be acknowledged and fixed with a CLEAR notice on the store page.
False advertising is valid grounds for demanding a refund. Expecting one thing and getting something else is not. By the letter of the advertising what happened is valid. As such, I see no grounds for a refund baised on getting something other than what you paid for.

What was that game? The one that was advertised as a "space flight sim" but what got delivered was a "walking sim with minimal space flight?" That was a case of false advertising. Which is illegeal.

Deceptive advertising is legeal. I do not recall anything being said about being given an EXTRA copy of the orgional if I purchased the EE. Just that if I did not posess the orgional game I would get a free copy. So I see no form of deceptive advertising occuring here.

I got what I expected, based on the discription given. Why were you expecting something else?

Edit/Update: I am basing my stance on what was advertised before the game launched, as well as what was there when I found out theat they were delivering the actual PS:T rather than "PS:T with some gameplay changes thrown in"

juliusborisov: Sorry to hear about your (or other people's) experience with a "predecessor", whatever you mean.

I guarantee you that under my control moderators don't ban without a reason, and this reason may be only violating the site rules, eg. insulting other posters.

You can mention on the forum you're coming from GoG, we will see that your user rights are well respected and protected.
Desperate damage-control attempt. The Beamdog forum has a rotten rep, and you are desperately trying to paint a pretty picture to fix it.

juliusborisov: Anyway, about your question - Beamdog can't influence how products are sold in other stores, how keys are given etc.
What kind of BS is that. Everyone who's got a mouth can influence things, he just needs to talk sense.

Stig79: Yes he does.
All I see there is him arguing patiently and politely all the while you and others attack him in an unfair and unproductive way.

Where did I attack him, exactly? I linked to a thread where he talks a lot of BS to try and do damage-control.

I have made no personal attacks against him. I have argued against his arguments. That is how you have a productive discussion. It is also not unfair to do that, I might add.

Maybe you should try and think before posting?

I guess this also isn't a personal attack but your understanding of a productive discussion?

On the plus side, they seem to have totally aced their insincere corporate propaganda. I think I almost threw up in my mouth.

OK maybe it's "not on the plus side", but you have to admit, they've managed to pretend to care about their customers while excusing for their not-exactly-opaque bundling tactic. It's almost like they're a real dystopian corporation - like Microsoft but without the staffing, revenue, share prices or success. ;)

I am sure their blinded fanboys will defend this too somehow.

Another "productive" contribution from you, I guess?

Dismissing others' arguments by labelling them as "fanboys" etc. is an immunisation strategy as easy as common, but still a non-productive fallacy.

Well. what would you call people who blindly defend a company who has been caught telling lies over and over again for years?
