Atari Requested ‘Baldur’s Gate’ Removal From The App Store

114051_larger1While we still don’t have any answers on the fate of Baldur’s Gate on the App Store, we now know that it Atari kicked off the recent drama. In an interview with Game Informer, Overhaul and Beamdog president Trent Oster confirmed that Atari requested the removal of the ‘enhanced’ re-make.

“At the request of Atari legal we removed the game from sale on Beamdog and the App stores," Oster told GI. “Atari is still selling the game through their channels.

We’re trying to remedy the situation and I’m hopeful we can come to an arrangement."

Weird. As noted before, these “contractual issues" are also stopping future patches to Enhanced Edition, as well as the creation of Baldur’s Gate II and III.
