Some? Surely that's really very bloody important for everyone?

I just found out about this thread so does this mean GOG is going to sell expansion packs of the games here like Baldur's Gate 1 Tales of the Sword Coast, and Ghost Recon 1 Desert Siege and Rainbow Six 1 Mission Pack Eagle Watch?

GOG's Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 already contain all the expansions.

No. The expansions for many EA games are missing. The exact reason why they are missing is not known (very likely rights problems), but GOG is trying to get them. From time to time there are twitter messages (not from GOG) that EA is working on it and they will be released. That's all.

The story about selling expansions separated comes because no one knows why so many EA expansions are missing (there are only a few EA releases with expansions). There is the idea EA maybe wants to sell them separated to earn more money. Again, that are just ideas to try explaining the situation, nothing officials. There are some threads about the expansion problems, the latest official post I know is that GOG is working on it but can't say anything detailed about it. The rest are rumours.

oh thanks then since I have not bought baldur's gate 1 yet did got 2 though but I know rainbow six 1 and ghost recon 1 does not have any

No one knows what this means, right now I'm taking those people's who are saying or speculating that this means GOG is selling expansions separate, with a big ol' grain of salt. Now I know things can change and what not but last I checked when they were talking about newer releases they said that they will "treat them the same as they treat the classics and that is to release them in complete editions with all DLC and expansion content included, they will not sell them seperate" unless of course it's a standalone expansion which doesn't require the core game to play. And since there is no proof that this is going to change and until I see something in clear black and white or in this case blue and grey that says otherwise I really don't see it as anything more than just a over retraction similar to the whole "Oh noez, gog is selling new gamez they r abbandonin the classics" we had a awhile back and sadly see periodicity when a new or newer title get's release but no classic one.


So yeah if this guy is telling the truth or finally got EA's higher ups to get their heads out of their prostiers then the expansion content will be added to the games themselves and not separatly.

personaly I do not care if either the expansion comes with the game itself or seperated for in extra cost as long as the expansion is there and I can get it

Well good for you. Personally I wouldn't nor will I ever touch the expansion content at all unless it is included in the game I had got, just like every other game here that has expansion content.

Call me a old stubborn whatever, call me ridiculas and unreasonable but honestly maybe it's because I come from a older generation of gamers that never stood for crap like that, hell we crashed a entire market because we didn't take crap(the console crash of 1984).

Now I don't know it's sad seeing so many people this generation rolling over so easily and accepting the ridiculouse because "it's better then nothing" i.e. Diablo 3's always online DRM, Steam's broken offline mode, Microsoft's crap on the 360, Cashcom and their crap(See Marvel 3-UMVC3, Mega man 9 dlc, hell disc locked content in general) and so on.

I understand where you are coming from I hate it too but expansion packs are on another level than dlc I prefer either getting rid of my SF4 for SSF4 AE then buying all 25 characters in individual prices or just wait for the ultimate edition which I did for MVC 3

another question: why is everyone here saying steam's offline mode does not work, all my games work perfectly with no problem?

my steam games:

Morrowind
Rainbow Six 3
Dragon Age:Origins
Left 4 Dead 2
Team Fortress 2
they all work for me offline

Well people say it doesn't work, since for about 50% or more users it really doesn't as in order to go offline you need to be connected online then set Steam to restart in offline mode which if you are already connected online why would you need to go offline? Offline mode is supposed to be for those moments when your not going to have any internet, for example you shut your machine down for the night and then the next morning your internet is out, guess what you more then likely will not be able to play any game on your account since you didn't log in online first to go offline.

So yeah I would say that is broken..

but here is the thing, I can play my steam games offline while I am not connected to the internet at all no online first than offline.

Yes YOU can but as I said about at least 50 to 65% of steam users can't which was my point which was working for 1 to say 15 or so people =/= works for everyone.

I myself had gotten offline mode to work without logging in first but that only happens for me about every 1 out of 50 attempts(I tested and see and that is what I got)

no. the point remains, strength unchanged.

And nobody is pushing you to buy it at the price you don't like :)
