    [​IMG]CD Project Red has released an open letter to the Witcher community with a promise that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will have no DRM on release.

    Hey, following our recent announcement of the distribution deals of The Witcher 3 in North America and Europe, there have been some concerns regarding DRM and previous legal issues with The Witcher 2. We've seen a lot of comments in various places around the web and we would like to join in on the conversation.

    I'd like to say it loud and clear: The PC version of The Witcher 3 will have absolutely no DRM from day 0. Zero. Zip. Nada. It doesn't matter if you choose to buy it on GOG.com and support us directly or buy the game in box format, you'll still get the 100% DRM-free experience. And this goes for the whole world.

    We've fiddled with DRM in the past (Oh boy! How young and naïve we were;)) and that's enough. Lesson learned.

    Having said that, I'd like to thank you for your continuous support. You've bought six million copies of the Witcher games so far. Whoo-hoo! Let's celebrate. Here, have some cake!

    UPDATE:

    It'll be on Steam; the team isn't going to exclude that community by any means. Gamers have a choice in where they buy their games, but where CDPR does have control - like GOG.com - there will be absolutely no DRM.

    Cheers,

    Good stuff. I'll probably get it on GoG, although I may opt for the box version if they add a lot of goodies.

    I do, I've a shelf's worth full of them but nowhere to really put them. I get so used to the DVD boxes nowadays that it's worth remembering the olden days in which they made special looking boxes for all the games, not just some of the special/mega/ultra editions.
