And what's more, it is the first occation to get it after it here was sold out and Ubi didn't want to press new CD of it. (Apart from German's "Gold Games" compilation.)

Someone from the Larian boards asked the rhetorical question why they wanted to publish it anyway, then ? Even if they didn't believe in this game anyway ?

That's good stuff - another thing I don't see coming state-side … but at least you can still buy DivDiv jewel-case for $10.

Jewel-case ? Here never. Only DVD boxes.

Nearly ALL games (except low budget) are in DVD boxes here nowadays.

What actually astonishes me is that the publishing rights für Divinity are held by CDV here, and for Beyond Divinity by Ubi Soft, so it must be a collaboration.

Um, it IS a budget release. AFAIK only compuslesses carry it, and it is usually found in their big racks of $2-$10 budget jewel case titles…

Actually, I bought it there, and, surprisingly, I really liked Divine Divinity. Usually I absolutely loathe action "rpg"s and real time combat…

I never saw it as an action RPG, only later I found out that it was advertised as such.

Maybe that was the reason why some people didn't buy it ?

I don't know. I must admit, however, that there are lots of elements of traditional "action" RPGs in it.

And how did you find my poem ?

Lar, the Chief of Larian Studios, added that the patch "basically removes the Starforce copy protection".

Thanks for your email on this, Alrik. I probably won't post it as news yet but please let us know when the patch is released.
