Starting a new job: 25% paperwork, 25% documentation, 150% confusion. I definitely need more stuff on my desk. — David Gaider (@davidgaider) February 8, 2016

Beamdog "loves taking classic video games and updating them for modern gamers" and its titles include Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition.

It's a good match for Gaider, who previously worked on Baldur's Gate 2 with Bioware.
