Yeah, they've been doing a lot of cool shit with it. Jragghen Send a noteboard - 12/05/2011 07:49:10 AM
I was going to mention that this game was available on GoG.com (until I saw you'd already done so), but I didn't realize it was the same people. I was wondering why a site focusing on old games was offering the Witcher 2. It didn't seem like they were trying to branch out into new stuff, since they were only offering ONE game. I was pretty surprised that the Witcher 2 devs let GoG offer it DRM free, too. Now I know why.

Huh.


You've been able to download all the extras for months without having to pay anything.

They're offering the difference between the US preorder cost and the overseas preorder cost for the UK/EU/AU (which is fixed due to legal reasons) as store credit - everyone, no matter where they are in the world, is getting the US price, effectively.

"Due to licensing and legal reasons the price of The Witcher 2 Digital Premium Edition in the European Union was set at 49.99 euros. The preorder price, being 10% less than that, is 44.99. Due to the favorable euro exchange, that means that EU customers are paying roughly $16 USD more than customers in the rest of the world, which just didn't seem fair to us. We're always trying to get the best value for money to our users, so to compensate our EU customers for the price difference between European Union and the rest of the world, we'll be giving all EU customers a $16 USD credit to spend on anything at GOG.com."


And if you already own the free game you get for prepurchasing, they'll give you another free game just for kicks.

Disappointed with Dragon Age 2? Looking for an expansive AAA PC fantasy RPG? Come one, come all! lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 04:51:59 AM 1030 Views
With this, Skyrim, DA2, ME2, Kingdoms of Amalur, and Deus Ex, we've got a stellar RPG year. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 04:57:24 AM 306 Views
Also, you should all still play Dwarf Fortress. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 05:06:39 AM 295 Views
I'll assume Deus Ex was intentionally put twice. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 11/05/2011 05:40:38 AM 377 Views
Nope! Fixed. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 06:33:48 AM 308 Views
The Witcher is all right. The story is fun, but the gameplay could use some work. Ghavrel - 11/05/2011 05:49:52 AM 616 Views
Everything I read says that the combat was revamped. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 06:35:53 AM 563 Views
Discount, get free shit right now from GOG.com Jragghen - 11/05/2011 06:03:03 AM 641 Views
Done and done. Bought both Witchers from GOG for a total of $50. About time I signed up there. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 03:22:15 PM 557 Views
Wait, really? Aemon - 12/05/2011 07:41:29 AM 595 Views

I know, I keep seeing all these new RPGs come out and I want to try them... LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 06:40:35 AM 541 Views
Keep an eye out for steam sales. You'd be surprised what you can snag. Ghavrel - 11/05/2011 07:32:34 AM 686 Views
I've honestly been trying to avoid Steam :/ LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 02:09:53 PM 581 Views
It's the premier digital platform for PC games, though GOG's offers more "stuff" with their version. Zalis - 11/05/2011 03:56:47 PM 545 Views
What do you mean by "checks and balances"? lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 04:41:01 PM 661 Views
I don't have a problem with the DRM-ness of it on its own LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 07:54:15 PM 580 Views
E-reader analogy. Low-blow :p lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 08:35:12 PM 507 Views
it wasn't really meant to be an analogy LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 10:35:58 PM 524 Views
I haven't had any problems with Steam. Gher - 12/05/2011 07:29:46 PM 699 Views
Yeah, for the record, I've never had any problems with Steam beetnemesis - 17/05/2011 04:22:02 PM 603 Views
The Witcher 1 is on GOG for $4.99 for the next week or so, then $9.99 therafter. Michael - 11/05/2011 11:15:14 AM 667 Views
Yah, I was thinking about at least grabbing the first one LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 02:08:37 PM 522 Views
It's been on my radar, but I'm not sure if I'll pre-order. Might not get around to playing asap. *NM* Zalis - 11/05/2011 03:49:22 PM 264 Views
I have the Witcher installed on my computer for a few months, left unplayed Stephen - 11/05/2011 05:09:32 PM 591 Views
Interesting fact: Someone from CD Projekt Red looked at my Linkedin profile today. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 10:08:52 PM 566 Views
or maybe you're on some sort of "watch list" *NM* LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 10:37:11 PM 267 Views
Re: Interesting fact: Someone from CD Projekt Red looked at my Linkedin profile today. Jragghen - 11/05/2011 11:31:37 PM 629 Views
Ah. Either way, it's still unusual. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 12/05/2011 12:28:09 AM 550 Views
So I've moved on to a less ancient game than Baldur's Gate 2 now... Legolas - 16/05/2011 08:01:29 PM 618 Views
Entering the 21st century? Stephen - 16/05/2011 09:49:17 PM 572 Views
I'm in the same boat. I could play those old RPG's forever. *NM* Panorphaeon - 18/05/2011 07:01:38 AM 297 Views
Didn't pre-order. Not enough time to play the game for a bit. Plus, nice weather... *NM* Zalis - 16/05/2011 09:02:22 PM 254 Views
