Why BGEE will fail

The number one reason why this version of the game will fail is that it really adds very little to the main campain. A extra 3 to 5 hours of play time simply does not cut it. Most of the enhancments were already available with community patches to the normal game. There is very little new content and the fact that you where not able to add the arena to the main campain or even raise the level cap a little really makes this game not worth 20.00 to those who have played it in the past. Add to this the new bugs that are in it and you got a recipe for disaster.
There is community user made content that is equal to or better than this - for the normal edition at a much cheaper price.
You DEVs really had a chance to do something with this and failed.
Only thing I can think of is that you simply did not have the talent and/or over reached on your time constaints.
I dought you will be able to push a BG2 or even entertain the idea of BG3 after this.

Could also mention the fact you put very little trust in the modding community (that you seem to respect) and what it could do with this modern rendition of Baldur's Gate. A modding community that collaborated heavily on this project (and without whom BGEE would have not been possible) and is most likely to introduce their own content in due time.
The only thing that failed here, is this thread and you...
Community patches? Having to read for hours and manually paste and install components that does not always play nice with each other is not preferable to a single install for a great many people. Goodie for you if that's your thing though I guess.
Adding "the arena" to the main campaign? It wouldn't make any sense to do so lorewise. This isn't a new spin on an old game where they could and should mess with the story as they like, this is an old game updated with the engine of another old game and given polish. And seeing as the campaign isn't extended by any great degree (which they never did claim it would be either) just mindlessly raising the level cap wouldn't have much point either.
Honestly, I just don't get some people.
Please dont make absolutes based on your own assumptions either. Neither of us know whether it will "fail" or not at this stage..
Award-winning successful game, with nothing added, does not have enough to be an award-winning successful game.
