Blade Runner - Enhanced Edition

Poor and won't support original removal

I know the original is included, but I refuse to support this version that's blurred, buggy, languages removed, etc. In fact, I don't support removal of buying the original separately *ever*. It's just a way for a remake (poor or not) to piggyback off the original game. Since the original was removed, look at this link (the most recent archive of the original) for reviews of a good game: https://web.archive.org/web/20220530012435/https://www.gog.com/en/game/blade_runner

I don't support original removal...

I don't support removal of buying the original separately, *ever*, or devs that do such. It's just a way for a remake (poor or not) to piggyback off the original game, including charging you more for it (cash grab) and not having to compete with the original in price or enjoyment. In that, the game and devs have already reviewed the game for me and marked it as DO NOT BUY or support us, this game is terrible. We couldn't compete with the original and even had to include it with this version to steal those sales and reviews. Beamdog are the pinnacle of such terrible practices. Worse, they show themselves as unprofessional with their entitled, childish, SJW/woke attitude by insulting anyone who doesn't praise EVERYTHING about their downgrades. So, beyond the above paragraph, I will never buy from Beamdog and advise anyone else to do the same and get the original elsewhere. Buying this to get the original or giving 5 stars, but meaning it for the original, supports this worthless company and encourages them, WotC, Hasbro and GOG in these *very* CUSTOMER UNFRIENDLY practices. Luckily, I picked these and others up before the downgrades and when the name GOG still meant GOOD and OLD (classic). Beamdog is neither. Since the original *and* it's page were removed, look at this link (the most recent archive of the original) for reviews, ratings and screenshots to compare with the current version, not to mention requirements, goodies, languages, etc of the original: https://web.archive.org/web/20181011141148/http://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_diamond_edition

Classic gets ***** 5/5

That one star? That's for this EE edition. I only have and only want the classic edition, but there's no store page to rate or review it anymore. The price is WAY too high (twice the price) for the classic and I'm not giving a game I don't want a good rating, especially when it's practically hiding the real classic, it's proper price and it's reviews and ratings, now. I'm not really all that interested in writing a review (what can I say about the classic that hasn't been said - it's GREAT), but since I can't even RATE the classic anymore, this is the only thing I can do. Suffice it to say that I loved, played and still own boxed editions (or would if I could ever get them back - long story that I won't go into) from when they were new. Anyway, what I'm really interested in is for the classic to be sold separately, have it's own store page, it's own reviews, ratings and proper price back. The classics sold far better than the EEs and what I've seen of the devs' attitude makes me want to avoid them (the EEs AND their devs). Now, people who only want the classics are going to have to buy the EE versions to get them. This looks like nothing more than a way for Beamdog to make extra sales from people who don't even want their editions, not to mention boosting their ratings and position in the Best Seller list artificially. I want GOG to know this, I want Hasbro to know this, I want everyone to know this. Anyone who feels the same should contact Hasbro and vote up the wishlist for unbundling this. Hasbro - corporate.hasbro.com/en-us/consumer-care Wishlist entry for unbundling - www.gog.com/wishlist/games/icewind_dale_classic Archive of Bestselling list - web.archive.org/web/20160416185118/https://www.gog.com/games?sort=bestselling&page=1 The classics were easily found near the top of the bestseller list. The EEs? I don't know where they are in the list, but they've had enough time to get the positions they deserve.
