Does anyone know when (if) the witcher 3 will be up for preload in steam?

For those familiar with the Witcher books, I think this image http://i.imgur.com/bqq5vie....
Might be Korath desert a.k.a. the frying pan. It is where Ciri was teleported and dumped mid-air during the events of the novels. Here is a link for more info, However be careful of book spoilers.

Here is a description from the books -
"She was completely surrounded by a greyish-red, stony plain, scored by ravines and faults, with mounds of stones and huge, strangely shaped rocks. High above the plain hung an enormous, golden burning sun, turning the entire sky yellow, distorting visibility with its blinding glare and making the air shimmer.”
— pg(s). 255, Time of Contempt (UK edition)

Here is an incredible video a very talented person made in UE4 of what Korath might look like.Highly recommended!

The monsters in that image remind me of a Koshchey. More so a hybrid between a Koshchey and an Arachas. Here is an image of what a koshchey look like in TW1 - http://witcher.gamepedia.co...

It might not be Korath but some other barren area we don't know enough about. I'll stick with my first guess and impression for now and say it's actually Korath.[until we have confirmation.]

If it's really Korath? Consider myself even more hyped than before! (if possible.)

There are a handful of creatures/monsters that are from this area of the Witcher world that up until now have only been talked about and referred to in the books and 2 previous Witcher games. So you can see how this could be a really big deal for longtime fans who have read the books and played the first 2 games and new comers tot the series alike.

Here are some links talking about the types of beasts who inhabit this desert region and further,another sorely underutilized and known about region of the Witcher world, Zerrakania.

Over 50% is PC. RE9 was the same

From this moment henceforth, Xbox hardware shall simply just exist but have no significant bearing from a business standpoint or from a gamer culture standpoint. It will simply be there for the people that want to have it and that's fine if they're selling it at a high price and actually making money off each sale.

But they should never ever again be Xbox fanboys anymore than they should be Lenovo laptop fanboys it's just a piece of hardware that exists to serve a purpose for niche group of people.

I’ll say this. Cyberpunk had a tumultuous start on console. Even if it had sold like crazy, that whole almost unplayable fiasco and being given no questions asked refunds made a lot of people not look back.
When it comes to PC, people are a lot more forgiving of things like that, especially on Steam, because of the return policy. I really think console manufacturers should implement the exact same refund policy. Was it played under X time? Refund it. It makes people take that risk on games a LOT more than on console. Bought this game and it was broken? Refund it. They said they fixed it 3 months later? Buy it again. It’s fixed but just not fun? Refund it. On console you don’t have that luxury. Was it downloaded? GG. No refund. Lord knows my Steam library is full of “I’ll try it” games that I loved and I’m glad I can take a rush on. On console, specifically PlayStation because I’m not buying Xbox games, I take calculated risk. Known developers. Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden ragebound, stuff like that. Obviously big exclusives and games too. I would have never tried Little Bookstore on PlayStation, but on Steam… why not? Hellish Quart? Why not. Buckshot Roulette? Why not.

this is why console sales matter, folks.

Never gonna complain at this especially as I havent played the PS5 version yet. Give me a Pro patch 😂😂

They're finally fixing the godawful inventory system? Yes!
