Beamdog need testers for major updates to Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

Quoting: kaimanI'd buy those games on the spot if only they were compatible with the original save games. Even though I've spent countless hours on BG1 and BG2, I never actually finished either of them. But I still have save data from some old backups dating back to 1999 and 2003 respectively. If I could pop those into the new edition instead of having to dig out the old CDs and fiddle around to get the games installed and running eventually I would have done so for quite a while now.

But the prospect of starting anew is somewhat discouraging. I had finished Planescape: Torment back in the day, so it was less of an issue to revisit that in form of the EE, and I loved it! But with Baldur's Gate I really don't see this happening any time soon.
You can play the original game with GemRB. I have done that myself to finish my run before doing a new run in EE.

Technology is never neutral. We should think about what usage it will bring and I highly doubt it will be easier donation for open source project (beside there are already 1 bilions and half competing standard on that)

Hardly a good then.

How does web monetization works?
Is it relevant in a world were game developers can monetize their games by selling them? Which is the best kind of monetization.

Has some of these game already been reviewed on Gaming on Linux? That would be cool to centralize links from all these reviews.
