Larian Studios primarily wants to make their player base happy and don´t care much about the old, hard to please, old-school fans but hope that a few them will also buy their game because of the name.
Old school didn't start in 1998. I'm in the old school group (AD&D 1st and 2nd editions) and I'm all in.
BG1 and BG2 were based on the 2nd edition rules and would technically be old school by your definition.
Fair enough. I wasn't clear. Table top AD&D 1st and 2nd editions.

i'm pretty sure it means old base bg fans, not ad&d. and that started in 1998.
Fair enough.
I guess my issue was with the two-fold classification being implied: the 'newer' fans and the original BG enthusiasts. There is a substantially large group of fans that came before both of them.
