Infinity is an extremely outdated engine and the multiplayer code is a mess.
Of course you cannot take the multiplayer code of Baldur's Gate to make a MMO, come on. It would be the silliest ideas ever heard.
The press release actually doesn't specify what exactly Bioware bought. If the rendering engine, or the server code. I was planning to write even about that, but I forgot.
My own idea at the bottom was just about the client, that's kind of obvious. And I was assuming that Bioware had enough resources to build their own server code and technology. For sure it doesn't look like a good idea to buy that kind of tech from a company that has NEVER tested it to see if it works.
