Report: Witcher 2 Launching on Good Old Games in May Alongside Retail Release
by Xav de Matos, Nov 18, 2010 9:05am PSTAccording to Eurogamer, CD Projekt will launch its anticipated RPG, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, on Good Old Games on May 17, alongside the game's planned retail release.
Although GOG.com is known for releasing retro PC titles for current Windows-based operating systems, CD Projekt--who owns and operates Good Old Games--will make an exception for its upcoming title. Additionally, plans to launch on GOG.com means that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be completely DRM-free.
Eurogamer notes that CD Projekt will announce the plan during a scheduled conference call today.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was originally scheduled to launch in March, but was recently pushed to May so that developers could "polish the game."

Additionally this dilutes the "GOG" brand. Are they going to change the name of the website, or throw out some shallow fluff trying to redefine the meaning of "Good 'ol Games"?
Just because they can doesn't mean that they should.

But thankfully the only difference is the free game and I've already gotten all the oldies I want from GOG. Plus Steam has a couple of advantages like Steamworks (in case they want to add achievements) and Steam download servers in Australia that won't hit my download quota (hopefully).

I'm sure they will polish it
Who am I kidding, I'm going all out for the CE for this one. That'll be a first for me but this is my most anticipated game of 2011.

A NEW GAME? ON A SITE CALLED GOOD OLD GAMES? WTF? *RageQuit*
we say DRM just hassles customers and gets cracked/removed before launch anyway
publishers say they need it to protect sales
the truth will be told next year when the game launches :)
