Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition is No More
A tragic day for all PC RPG fans - the time has come to finally lay Baldur's Gate to rest, as even the resurrected remains of the much-loved game are blown away by the winds of fate. It was never meant to be it seems, as Beamdog has just not only removed Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition from e-tailers, but also has placed Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition on indefinite hold - a state of affairs that may eventually spell a slow decline into the lost memories of time for the series. Beamdog's Trent Oster had this to say:
"We recently removed Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition from sale on Beamdog and the Apple App Store. We've taken this step at our publishing partner's request as we attempt to resolve a number of contractual issues. This also prevents the launch of Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. I sincerely apologize to the series' fans and promise we are working diligently to remedy the situation."
Suffice to say, this crash and burn series of events has left everything in disarray, with a massive promised patch now seemingly never to come, and a bleak long-term outlook for Beamdog itself. Is this for the better, or is this truly a tragedy?

@Jenssen: Time will tell I guess

Sounds like a rather temporary issue to me.

The enhanced edition was never on GOG, Nteger; only the original game, which you can still buy.
Speaking of, someone should really post a news post to say, "Holy fuck, GOG is having the sale of sales", especially today.

Damn, new I should have bought that from GOG when I had the chance.
