Makes no sense. If they have a budget, spend it on a new game. If they are doing this on a shoestring, then they should go back and rethink their strategy. If they need people to buy this in order to fund development of a new game, then I stand by my original statement - its a money grab. I don't think the new game will be BG3 though, since it is on record that BG3 has been in development (off and on) since 2004 (to be published by Atari)
First, to address your earlier "money grab" statement. Sigh. Yes, Beamdog wants your money. One of the best ways to do that, is to provide you with an awesome product or service you want. While a "remastered" Baldur's Gate isn't to everyone's tastes, clearly Beamdog has already rang the bell and starting many folks salivating . . .
And "makes no sense"? Again . . . sigh. Judged only on the response the news has generated so far, I think what Beamdog is doing makes loads of sense. Again, if it doesn't get you excited personally, that's cool. But I'm confident that this money grab makes lots of sense and will make many gamers, young and old, very happy. I'll be purchasing a copy, for sure.
