    From twitter:
    Trent Oster -
    We are completely not affected by the Atari bankruptcy. Recent dealings make a lot more sense now.

    No matter what happens, we'll work with all parties to ensure our customers get updates.

    And some announcements can't be dismissed... Not sure why that is the case.

    @reedmilfam I think announcements by Team Members can't be dismissed.

    @mlnevese - Not sure. Just gets frustrating when topics are there that won't go away. Specifically language-specific announcements. There probably isn't a perfect solution.

    @reedmilfam You can dismiss entire forums. Finding the gear icon is a little tricky though. I found out it's easier to do when using the mobile interface.

    Atari is going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This doesn't really affect us as we are self-funded.
    We are still doing updates to the code and still working on BG2. We will continue to post updates to Beamdog, iTunes and additional stores as they come on line. Atari is responsible for Steam and all other PC distribution other than Beamdog. We will continue to provide Atari with new builds as we roll them out and we hope they can update all their distributors in a reasonable timeline.

    Best,
    -Trent

    Sweet news Trent. Glad you guys and gals aren't affected by this. Now take your time on BG 2 EE. I have to plan my Kensai playthough than my either gnomish or halfling thief to playthough afterwards.

    I am guessing they will not move onto BG3 until after BG2EE launches
