And here I thought there couldn't possibly be anyone who hasn't heard of, or played Baldur's Gate

I am glad to see this is sparking some ongoing interest. We are at 44 pages at TWC and people just signing up there just to sign the petition. Very nice to see Kagemusha appear as well. This is the thing: there are so many great players and modders out there that have already moved on, CA can only play this dangerous game with their fans for so long. I for one would hate to see that happen.

Constant pressure is being applied over at CA, and will remain until they clarify their situation. Thanks to everyone for your concern! The word is spreading. It may be a trickle for now, but could end up a flood.

Best regards,

MCM

I can see where the development of mod tools could be a drain of resources and money for a company.

But since they are doing DLC anyway they could be released in the same fashion and produce revenue.

That is DLC people would pay a deal to get, even if released one type of editor at a time.

But if the response to Bioware's devoting time and money to such, it's a wise investment, IMHO. IIRC, a few of the really good modders for NWN eventually got onto Bioware's payroll either as consultants, beta testers, or designers. There were also a few of the design techniques used that made their way into the company's future releases.

I buy Bioware products sight unseen without even reading reviews because I know they produce good games, have excellent customer support and even if I'm less than overjoyed with the original release, I'll find plenty of mods later that satisfy me.

I'd hate to see that and I think it's totally unnecessary to generate funds, in the long run.
