The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt -- 16 free DLCs for everyone!
November, 06, 2014
Open Letter from Marcin Iwiński, co-founder and Joint CEO of CD PROJEKT RED.

“We love games. We love collecting them, playing them, and everything connected to that experience. Every time we reach out for a new release, we expect to be taken care of. We expect support if we encounter any problems, we love updates constantly improving the experience, and we feel really special when we receive free content that gives us more than we initially paid for. It doesn’t have to be huge, it can be an awesome skin for a character, or an extra sword, or armor.

Unfortunately this treatment is quite rare these days. As gamers, we nowadays have to hold on tight to our wallets, as surprisingly right after release, lots of tiny pieces of tempting content materialize with a steep price tag attached. Haven’t we just paid a lot of cash for a brand new game?

As CD PROJEKT RED, we strongly believe this is not the way it should work and, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we have decided to do it differently. Cutting to the chase, everyone who buys Wild Hunt will receive 16 specially prepared DLCs absolutely for free, regardless of platform. You don’t have to pre-order, you don’t have to buy any special edition to get them -- if you own a copy of Wild Hunt, they’re yours. This is our way of saying thank you for buying our game.”

Regards,
Marcin

Take note Ubisoft.

Got to love the attitude, and not sitting there lambasting PC gamers whilst doing so...
Take note...well most major publishers these days!

Great news Paul and I wish others would follow their lead.

Spending months fixing any potential issues before releasing it to the public. CDPR doing it right, again.

 

[Gregster]

yup, just how it should be done with AAA titles.

 

[Tonester0011]

Well done, puts Ubi & EA to shame.
Only 5 months left.

Could not agree more. I hate delays but what i hate more is not enjoying a game due to it not being finished. There's nothing like playing a game that just exudes class in all departments. I think there should always be a schedule off course but if the game is not ready inside this schedule then delay it until it is. The Witcher 3 is shaping up to be awesome and i fully hope it delivers for CD Projekt red.

Well after all this it better be more or less bug free. If it turns up with just as many bugs as everything else then it will be a bit farcical.

Yeah, I have absolutely no problem with that!

Witcher 2 had zero issues at launch, besides I think if you had 3D Vision enabled in CP it caused performance issues. I'll take a tick box over half the problems Unity has any day of the week.


Dragon Age Inquisition had a fairly trouble free launch also, and the scope of that game is MASSIVE.

I have a feeling the new Titan cards will be out just in time for this

I guess there will be something out, as I imagine this to be quite demanding when the settings are dialed up.

 

[eyetrip]

I will buy this on release at full price, despite not having finished the first and not touching the second, simply because I like their attitude.

I pre-ordered on their attitude and past game releases. That was good enough for me.

 

[bemaniac]

seeing as this is the biggest pc release in 10 years will I be able to run it maxed out on my AMD setup?

Ask AMD or the developer?

 

[Tonester0011]

I highly doubt it, not at 4k.
4 cards will struggle at that results.

People are setting themselves up for a fall by treating CDPR like a cult... give it 5 years and they'll gradually bring in more clueless business types, trying to expand, appeal to casuals all the while downplaying fan concerns. Seen it happen a hundred times.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. Whilst a studio is small and probably only working on one or two projects they do things the 'right way'.

As soon as they get too large for their boots, business ethics go out the window for 'how can we monitize our operation to the maximum extent'.

 

[Gregster]

Could be right Fella's but whilst they are still small, their practices makes me don my hat (if I had one) in appreciation. Dice had a good business ethic with never charging for DLC and look how that turned out for them...
