<blockquote>@Direct2Drive Or someone *cough*D2D*cough* could figure out a way to sell Planescape Torment.
<br>
<br>
@Daggity hah, would love to re-release Plancescape...if we could find someone who actually owns the rights! Sad.
<br>
<br>
@Direct2Drive Good luck! I'd love to have a legal copy of Planescape Torment, that didn't cost 50 dollars on Amazon. :/</blockquote>
<br>
... and the obvious answer of Interplay <a href="http://www.interplay.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=734">is wrong</a>:
<br>
<blockquote>Unfortunately, we don't have the rights to publish AD&D titles anymore. Sadness.</blockquote>
<br>
Lots of sadness.

seeking rightsowner through twitter is sad.

Hasbro/WotC own the damn rights. They own all of D&D, just because they chose to retire the Planescape setting doesn't mean a damn thing.

Is it that hard to find it in some budget release?

 

[Elwro]

CDP had no problems buying the rights recently to re-relase Planescape in a budget series (in Polish). These guys are just lazy.

...and it cost ~2EUR

 

[RainSong]

ye, going to buy it tomorrow :D

 

[Gerrard]

Then again, if CDP could sell Torment on GoG they probably would already. I think they are limited to either box version or Polish version only.

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

I own the original 4CD version.

 

[racofer]

I own the digital distribution version.

 

[Paula Tormeson IV]

DU, it's "whoever". Or is that in inside joke that escapes those who haven't played Torment?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

No, that's just a grammar error.

 

[deuxhero]

Given that Gamefly has it, someone has to own it.

 

[Paula Tormeson IV]

So... Why don't you correct that thing, DU?

 

[The Vanished One]

Another proud owner of the original 4CD here
That was the only time I used eBay in my life.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

So what are you smug about?

That you spent money on a re-edition, which is comprarable to just taking and burning it?

Or that you bought no doubt completely fucked up localized version?

Do tell!

 

[Wyrmlord]

I own the digital distribution version.

Oh yes I believe in polish craftsmanship

Is there Any way to keep the nameless one out of the Blood war? I've been trying different ways and it isn't happening. Just not happy with the ending otherwise. Thanks.

In the german translation for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the healing spell is translated with "Feuerball"

What can change the nature of a <s>man</s> moron?

Yeah, just don't finish the game.
