Send it to comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg - Ray Muzyka, the CE of BioWare often responds to posts there about Baldur's Gate.

I work in a computer games store and we've spent the | last couple of days dealing with disgruntled customers who cant get their | games to work properly. Not much fun I can assure you. | | I know some of the guys that worked on Baldurs Gate post to this ng so I'd | also like to use this opportunity to let you know exactly how much this | sucks and how annoyed the Australian public are when a product is released | in this condition. I know Australia is not considered a big money-spinner | compared to other regions of the world but I'd like to assure everyone that | works at Interplay and Black Isle that I'll think twice before buying or | recommending one of your products in future. | | Valkyrie | | | | | Jiro Sumitomo wrote in message <7hvpi6$d0s$1@bunyip.cc.uq.edu.au>... | >Hello, | > | >Got my hands on TOTSC here in Australia yesterday.
