I have NWN with the 2 major modules, that's the last game I bought.
I think sacred gold looks interesting, however I feel personally insulted that they want to charge full retail for a game as old as it is, especially with sacred 2 already shipping and the windows version being totally bargain bin.

Due to the blog, the Slashdot article about the blog, Linux and Mac sites posting of the PR we ended up with an excellent weekend of chaos. Because of this we are now as good as set to focus completely on making the next game, which is great compared to spending most of the day working on survival solutions....
...Since the windows version is sold at so many places and also as a boxed version(s), there is no exact figures really. But some sort of estimate would be that Windows is 90% of the units and linux 6% with the mac at 4%...
