Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition launched this week to a very negative response, and the community developers who brought the game to modern computers for free are unhappy about being replaced.
"Over a number of years, I, along with friends, lovingly reverse engineered Westwood's Blade Runner for ScummVM, reviving the game and helping GOG to release the game for sale once again," developer Thomas Fach-Pedersen says on Twitter. "For this we have asked for and received nothing but the honor of the work."
Nightdive Studios' Enhanced Edition has taken over the GOG listing for Westwood's classic 1997 Blade Runner adventure. The original version through ScummVM is still available as part of the purchase at the same price, but Fach-Pedersen takes issue with being a "mere attachment on somebody else's mediocre paid product."
The folks at PC Gamer have a longer breakdown of what's wrong with Enhanced Edition, but the list starts with messy visuals and bugs that disrupt the flow of the game. Enhanced Edition is also missing several non-English dubs - which the devs have already promised to fix.
For its part, GOG has defended the decision to merge both games into a single package, telling Eurogamer that "the decision to handle the release on GOG this way, in what we feel offers the greatest value for fans of this game, was made with input from multiple parties."
