Sucks balls, doesn't it?

It does. Maybe we should all take to the streets holding up signs saying "Will work for GoGs".

I agree - I think the releases have been building up to BG2 the whole time. Don't get me wrong, though. I've purchased the other 5 immediately upon their release and will buy the last two regardless of their release order.

I think the bigger question is: which will be completed first - the Age of Wonders series or the D & D series?

My bet is GoG will set up some "dramatic tension" and do something like Icewind Dale 2, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, and then Baldur's Gate 2. For many of us, waiting for BG2 is gonna be like the torture I'm sure we all experienced (maybe still experience) the days prior to a big gift-oriented day (birthday, Christmas, etc.).

Edit: Ok, in retrospect, maybe it'll be Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, Icewind Dale 2, and then Baldur's Gate 2...

For the record: It is most likely we'll get the BG2 complete collection, not the original release. The complete collection box is red, not green... So if the hue of the box is a clue, it'll most likely be IWD2 :P
