DRM-Free Witcher 2 Preorders on GOG.com

[Nov 18, 2010, 2:31 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

CD Projekt's promised announcement indeed turns out to be the news that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be sold through GOG.com, the first new title to be carried by the "good old games" service, and it will indeed follow the site's no-DRM policy. The game is now available for preorder with a "buy now, pay at release" policy, and preordering will earn some perks, including exclusive content and the choice of one of the following games for free: Gothic 2 Gold, Realms of Arkania 1 + 2, Realms of Arkania 3, Divine Divinity, or Beyond Divinity, and they add that "Gamers who have already purchased all of these titles from GOG.com's library will be offered an alternative title instead." The game will also be what they call a "Fair Price Package," saying "EU and UK customers receive a store credit in USD for the price difference between their preorder price & the worldwide one."

Gog has already said they will only publish their own (CD-Projekt) games on gog. So they don't care about other publishers. Every sale they do on gog is a sale not done on Steam or competitors online stores. So for them this is not only nice customer service but great PR and range extension. Someone who buys once on gog is likely to buy again.
