Ok you're right again if it pleasures you. It's just impossible to speak with someone like you...
I'm just stating simple facts my friend. Re-releasing a game naturally gets new players playing it. Did you actually play the games on a modern computer pre-EE's? Modding BG1 to play on the BG2 engine + wide screen support was a pain in the ass.
This isn not what you said... "people weren't really playing Baldur's Gate before they got re-released".
I play the games every years (or two years) for about 20 years and I can tell you I'm far to be the only one... Now I'm trying the EE for the first time on my nintendo switch because I like playing in the train (I bought it last month, not interrested playing it on a computer).
Why are we talking about that ? Is that really interresting or is there a link with the previous messages ?
