As many here, you're really boring playing on every words. I add a "I think", so you can just stop answering to say nothing...
To be fair, people weren't really playing Baldur's Gate before they got re-released. Well I was, but modding the games to run like EE's was a pain in the ass. BGTUTU for example, it took so much tinkering that your average gamer had no interest in. So I guess whether current RPG's will be played in 20 years or not depends on if they'll be kept alive by updating and possibly re-releasing them.
And you're again talking about you as "poeple". Lot's of people still played BG before EE exists... And lots of people still plays the original games even if the EE exists...
Not that many as it was out of print. You could only get it illegally from torrent sites for a long time, and BG1 especially wasn't a good experience due to its outdated engine.
Ok you're right again if it pleasures you. It's just impossible to speak with someone like you...
