<p>At least it must be because <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-18-good-old-games-to-sell-the-witcher-2">according to EuroGamer</a>:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Polish company CD Projekt will break the Good Old Games mould by selling The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings there next May, Eurogamer can exclusively reveal.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Until now, Good Old Games had focused on adapting retro titles for today's operating systems.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">But sources have told us that on 17th May, The Witcher 2 will be found there. What's more, the gritty action RPG will be completely DRM-free.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The PC version of The Witcher 2 has been swaggering around for months, gaining followers and acclaim - it looks very good. But what's happened to our console adaptations?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gritty.</p>

But will they also carry the Expanded Edition, the Enhanced Edition, and the GOTY Enhanced Expanded Edition?

GoG: We torrent the games for you!

 

[Rhalle]

Good to see them doing this.

Six months away. :/

 

[Ancient]

GoG belongs to CDprojeckt so does TWithcer 2

So why would they sell it trough other digital distribution company and loose profit ?

 

[spekkio]

Better than choosing Steam or other stupid shit.

What's more, the gritty action RPG will be completely DRM-free.

But the real question is, will CDPR need a scene crack to remove their own DRM?

 

[Andyman Messiah]

Well, at least they do something right.

Exactly. Digital distribution with DRM or digital distribution without? Oh, the choices. I'm so torn. Wait no I'm not, I'll take GoG, thanks. Maybe they can add a "not old" section to it or something.

 

[spekkio]

I was quoted by Lesi, now I can die as fulfilled man.

 

[mondblut]

Old, maybe, but I am sceptical on the "good" part.

Naturally it entails that you also must be the father of her children.

Congratulations.

 

[deuxhero]

will it cost 10 bucks?


Also, GoG.com has confirmed it.

Pre order page allready up at gog.com now, thought you might want to add it

 

[Gerrard]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was cheaper than retail there.

Another jab at Steam.

As expected, everything stopped working.

It sort of is. I'm currently watching an online conference regarding TW2. Gonna post a thread with details when it's finished.

DRM-Free?
Nice!

Will still buy the DVD, though

 

[Dagon]

Dark Underlord's
The Bitcher 2: Assassin of Potatoes?

 

[Rhalle]

DRM-Free?
Nice!

Will still buy the DVD, though

And only $45 for preorder.

I bet Steam outsells GOG on The Witcher 2 pre-orders easily. People looooooove Steam for whatever reason, and more importantly the people who loooooooove Steam seem to hate shopping anywhere else.

Amazon.com has a pre-order up for the $130 collector's edition now, if anyone else is stupid like me and loves boxes and other crap.

 

[Gerrard]

Pre-ordered the CE.

Don't want the head but the artbook and the dice are nice, and the price is not as outrageous as I expected.

$130?!? "not as outrageous"? What did you expect?

 

[Ancient]

I will probably get Russian CE same shit just in Russian and price is 78$ instead of 130$

 

[Brother None]

The Polish CE is 80 bucks too. But yeah, the rest of us are getting a shaft up the anus in pricing. Not interested, and I regularly enjoy a good shaft up the anus.

The "premium" edition is pretty swank though.
