It's been an interesting thread.
As a Mac gamer who was forced to run the Windows versions of all the original games that Beamdog has released (the original mac editions have long since stopped working), these enhanced editions have been worth the money. I can understand the point of view of people who don't find them worth the money, though. The thing is, as has been said before, they can just not buy them as they clearly already own them in a format that suits them. So I find the anger puzzling. But, whatever.
I certainly don't see this, or any of the EEs, as a "cash grab." Unless by cash grab you mean "attempting to make mony so we can stay in business." And if people want to spend a few bucks for a portrait pack that the rest of us don't need, then I say let them. In the case of the upcoming NWN:EE, I think their intent is to use it as a content platform for future modules which, so long as the quality is top notch, should be worth paying for. I think this will ultimately be a very good thing for classic RPGs in general, and I welcome it.
