$25 for a game that old? I'm sorry, but that's a joke. I loved playing Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 several years ago and I still already OWN them (and they run fine in VMWare with WindowsXP), so this idea I should pay $25 AGAIN for them is a bit much. I didn't pay that much for them a few years ago. They were in the bargain bin for $5 apiece. Now look at the Enhanced Monkey Island games. They MASSIVELY improved the graphics and added full speech to boot. Those I thought were worth $15-20. I suppose if you have never played Baldur's Gate 1 or 2, it'd be worth $25, but they KNOW most of their market is people that wouldn't mind playing it again a decade later without having to jump through hoops (VMWare, etc.) to get it to run (none of which applies if you own Windows for any machine since they still run just fine on a modern PC and aren't buggered to hell like I hear Baldur's Gate EE was/is).
I might pay $25 for BOTH Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 Enhanced, but I'm not paying $50 to play ancient games that had their time at brand new game pricing levels. I didn't pay that much for Dragon Age Origins (recently on sale a few months ago for $10 on Steam for Windows with every single expansion included) when I bought it for $40 the same year it came out. Now THAT game blows away Baldur's Gate and its sequel. It's the best RPG I've ever played and I've played a lot of them (KOTOR is also excellent and so is its sequel if you get the fan patches to restore the unfinished content). Its sequel was a gross disappointment but that's because they didn't put any time into it. This seems to be a "Let's see how many suckers we can get to buy the game all over again." How about a discount for those of us that already own the darn games? Yeah right. Let me know when they're down to $10 each and I'll think about it.
