I want it too :)

I second that. I still have the WC in german somewhere around here. It was better than most VG voice overs, but that doesn't say much.

After playing the english version, I will never again touch the german version.

Text Only is not interesting. The Game was avilable in German language. Text and speech. I want the Speech too :-(

When I become Supreme Ruler I will utilize all the people who prefer dubbing over the original audio.

Utilize for what? Or do you mean euthanize?

Not a fan of dubbing, I'm a bit more accepting of it in games though, I outright hate it on films. I prefer having the original audio with text/subs, but I really wish more games did multilingual releases that let you choose whatever you prefer. I'd understand perhaps not including multiple languages on a first release, but why not in those inevitable re-releases or maybe as a downloadable patch?

Utilize for food for cattle.
Because it's a higher cost than profit?

Of course, silly me, hoping for a better product without consideration of the profits of multimillion-dollar companies, must be that entitlement thing that's going around lately.

Start your own business and you will understand, that making things that are not profitable will make you bankrupt pretty soon.

Also, creating multi langual dubs takes time. This time (and money, ofc) is better to be used to make a new game, not to dub the old one, if you asked me.

Well, you should immediately change friends :-D

Except localizations already exist for pretty much every game. Like I said, I understand that it's not done on first releases, but I strongly question the time/costs excuse on re-releases.

OH, you mean localisations for games on GOG? It was discussed many times - LEGAL reasons.

In most cases, the localisations were made in different countries by different companies. Like, for example, Baldur's Gate PL version was made by CDProjekt.

The reason why games here are mostly English only is simple - legal problems. They would have to obtain permission from every single publisher from every country.

ach ja er tut

No, I didn't really mean GOG. It just seems odd that it was much easier to purchase games with multiple localizations in the past than it is today.

A lot of the games that are English-only at GOG are also available on other DD stores with at least Spanish, French, German translation, so I would guess getting the right licenses is not that impossible after all.

Oh, that's strange. These are versions with full dub?

Hm... Then I don't know why they are not present on gog.
