It's interesting that there are so few games who give the source code away like that. Its clear that giving the sourcecode away allowed a game like JA2 to still be played FAR longer than the typical lifespan can be expected to last. Hell I know i have bought it twice - once originally, then again on GOG after i had lost the game and recently was itching to replay it. My current laptop is not up to playing BIA but i've plans to upgrade...and when i do...
Point im making is that buy returning the engine of the game to fans, you preserve the lifetime of a game, and ensure you keep the people who play your game loyal, and in the future they may be likely to buy further releases...suffice to say im itching to play BIA. And would be much more so if it was likely that BIA 1.13 was a possibility...

i loved ja2 and have completely enjoyed bia.
i will admit i was quite skeptical of a kalypso remake to ja2 after playing Dungeons. i didnt think it would be a DK remake, but somewhat counted on modders, before learning about kalypso's aversion to the modding community... seriously considered never playing another kalypso game again.
having said that, bia isnt bad and i am not regretful for forking over some of my cash for it. There are many places to make it wonderful, but that will probly never happen. While it is true bia certainly will never reach 1.13 levels (the new patch for bia is 1.13... seemed like a sacrilige), it takes a whole lot of community love to make a game that perfect.
even some of the glaring problems with the game were somewhat trivialized when i got used to it. I absolutely hated saving in JA2 and then standing all my mercs up to run across the map just Hoping an enemy would fire at me, because if they didnt, i had to search all of the bathrooms. while not having fog of war is completely cheating and will enable it next time i play, i Love that you can play without it when i want to play fast and dirty, sniping from way too far away in the dark.
in the end, it is just too nostalgic not to play.
gawd i need more guns... tons of guns
but i wont pay them another dime.
