We would like to apologize for recent miscommunications regarding the removal of the predecessor products to our Enhanced Edition titles from sale on GOG.

The decision to take Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, Icewind Dale, and most recently, Planescape: Torment from sale on GOG and bundle them with the Beamdog Enhanced Edition titles was a joint decision between the Beamdog and GOG leadership teams, just as it was when the GOG Definitive Edition Bundles were first announced.

At no point was it our intention to appear as if we were shifting the weight of this decision to GOG. Again, we apologize for creating this perception and hope to do a better job of communicating with the GOG community in the future.

We believe that bundling the old titles alongside their newer Enhanced Editions creates a value unique to GOG and allows for owners to enjoy the option of choosing to play the game as it was on release or the versions we have made available.

The team at Beamdog is working to better communicate internally and with members of the community. We appreciate the feedback we’ve received so far and look forward to hearing more from GOG fans.

Sincerely,
The Beamdog Team

I knew it! You have to be joking. "enjoy the option"? What "option"? There is no "option". What is this? More damage control from a faceless developer from Canada called "Beamdog"? Who are you? Why hide behind a title? Tell us who we're talking to.

"Beamdog can't influence how GoG sells products in its store."

This is what a Beamdog employee said right here on GoG about a month ago.

The obvious thing to do is to cut the classics loose and sell them separately from the EE versions. Simple. No need for confusion. That way, the EE versions sink or swim on their own. I am only mollified to some extent by the fact that *most* everyone who would have bought the originals had already done so, and modded them, prior to the EE releases. Still, nothing wrong with selling the originals separately, seems to me. In fact, they could sell the originals separately and give the EE versions away for free in the bundle, if they wanted...;)
