posting a pasta once in a thread is not spamming or flooding, much like a surgically inverted dick is not a vagina.

Beamdog is a guilty of a number of different crimes. Here are the major ones:

1. The Enhanced Editions are essentially a collection of free mods that had existed for nearly twenty years. Beamdog gathered them all up, slapped "Enhanced Edition" on it and resold it as a new product. There's very very little in the Enhanced Editions that wasn't already out there, and most of it is stuff you don't want (like obnoxious character outlines).

2. The games didn't sell so well and the originals were still far outselling them, even twenty years after their release, so Beamdog had EVERY digital distributor stop selling the originals and ONLY sell the Enhanced Edition. If you want to buy a digital copy of the originals now, they're "bundled" into the Enhanced Edition. Now these scumbags can claim sales from people just wanting to buy the originals as their own.

3. The infamous 600+ bugs on launch. The game is still riddled with bugs (as even a perfunctory glance over their forums show) but the fact that it took nearly two years for them to get a game that had been working fine for 20 years to reach playability after launch is telling of their wild incompetence.

4. This is where we get to the ones that really piss people off. Beamdog couldn't just remaster the game, they had to fuck with the content too. New dialogue for existing NPCs like Jaheira, Viconia, Safana, Kivan, et cetera was written in to make the characters more progressive and leftist friendly. Beamdog shills will argue that "adding content isn't changing content XDDD" but it is when the new content changes the core personalities of the existing characters. This is in addition to adding a slew of their own LGBT (hitherto there were none in Baldur's Gate) NPCs, all flooded with OP attributes and magic items to encourage people to play them despite their cancer.

5. Siege of motherfucking Dragonspear.

post count shrinks randomly over time as janny roots out more posts offending his sperg sensibilities

it must be frustrating, your inability to ban people for posting what you merely disagree with. not that that works either, volunteer.

You can keep deleting all the posts that disagree with you and putting your jani max of 15 minute blocks on people, but eventually the mods are going to take a look. The only rules being broken here are the janitor rules against subjective moderation. And if you think anyone on this board is going to be sad to see a power-abusing jani get kicked who's only succeeded in fucking up one of the most used threads in one of the most stable boards, you must be out of your hot pocket mind.

We get that you don't like people talking shit about Beamdog, but it's not your call to make on telling people what parts of Baldur's Gate are okay for discussion or not. There's a reason these threads hit bump limit multiple times a month without being a shitflinging fest AND still have the copypasta and brief Beamdog discussion up. If you kept your greasy fingers off and did your job right, you'd have seen why.

It's not the mods. It's one suicidal janitor who's overstepping his authority and deleting everyone who disagrees with him. He went back and deleted some of his own posts too to act like it was the discussion itself, but the damage is done and now he's all-in hoping the mods don't fire him.
