Planescape: Torment

ShadowFighter15 · 01-17-2010, 01:57 PM

One of the best RPGs ever made, but the only way to get it these days is to luck out on eBay or similar sites.

This was the case with Fallout 1 and 2 before they were available on Steam (no doubt because of the third game) and I believe that putting Planescape: Torment up on the Store would expose a lot of RPG fans to one of the genre's crown jewels.

There is only one problem. It's the choice of the publisher and i don't know if Interplay still owns the rights after they went bankrupt.

That's one of the things I'm worried about. That and the rights to the Planescape setting itself, which were originally owned by TSR (the company that published D&D originally) but after D&D was handed over to Wizards of the Coast (a part of Hasbro) there hasn't been any published Planescape material. WotC own the rights to it, the question would be if they'd want to do anything with it since they haven't so far.

ya i agree with these guys because you need permission to sell online from the company.

Still, if all that can be sorted, it'd be a real boon to any RPG fans. Although; does anyone know if a copy of the game purchased over eBay would work through Windows XP?
