No, you retard, and you'll likely get the tumblremastered version. Pirate the original.

Yes it is, in case you don't know it's a developer who got famous for remastering Baldur's Gate and hamfisting in LGBTBBQ+ characters and shit writing, causing a huge controversy.

>But it's optional content so you don't have to even use those characters, anon! You obviously just want to get upset about nothing :)

Read the book instead, it's honestly more enjoyable due to PST's shit gameplay.

The money goes to the publishers, the devs have already been paid when they were working on the game.

there was a huge controversy when Baldurs gate enhanced edition was remastered because some poorly written quests were added. nothing was taken out, as far as I can remember.

As for planescape torment EE: it's the best edition of the game that you can get. many QOL changes and options set it far above the original. As someone who played both versions, there is no argument to be made for playing the outdated 1999 version.

Never even tried this game but I've heard complains about EE, namely the cartoony outlines on characters. I wouldn't touch anything made by Beamdog with a 10 ft. pole.

Since we live in a world where we can have subscription based payment like patreon and all those similar sites, can't we move to paying the content creators directly for the stuff they make?

the huge controversy happened when siege of dragonspear was released. that was truly something nobody asked for. and then you had them deleting the original versions from digital distribution, which means that if you want to try any of the games they are "enhancing" in their original form, you'd either have to pirate them or hunt down old physical copies. There was a dvd with all the infinity engine games in one disc so I'd reccomend that.

Reminds me of George Orwell to be honest. They're constantly "updating" and "fixing" things so that they are always PC and burning any old copies that might prove the ~~Party~~ SJW NWO wrong.

Eh, I think that's giving them too much credit to be honest. (((WotC))) just wanted to get even more jewgold from old products, but at the same time won't allow new D&D games using old systems; however, the only d&d games which actually sell and are popular and everything are the infinity engine ones. So when this Trent Oster guy, who had only worked in NWN, came to their offices and offered a "new" and "remastered" version of those older games, while at the same time regaining control of the licenses and distribution, they simply allowed him to do so. The ideological shit is just average Bioware.

Personally I don't care about this, they haven't earned new fans with this. The true problem for me is how WotC and Beamdog teamed up to remove the older versions from GOG. When the first BGee was released (a buggy, barely working game), GOG published a list of mods and cheekily titled it "here's a nice way to enhance your BG experience" or something like that.
