9 gigs ???
thats like a game on it self

WTF

@ captain-obvious

did you read the article? shit dude, it even explains it in the short sentence below the title.

your user name is ironic.

"9 gigs ???
thats like..." you cant read

this is true! i dont care how big aslong as it fixes the bugs!!! wondering....does the game patch itself or do i have to download it manually? is it out in america yet?

like ATiElite said, Steam patch games automatically when you are not using it...

it's a pity i don't have money to buy this game...

got deus ex instead (HUGE fan of deus ex here.)

actually gog version have the same bonus stuff plus the art book that usually comes with the $120 version..

Doesn't matter as long as you bought it!

Steam version is the only version that has achievements and leaderboards and if you pre-purchased the game you get 3 genuine bonuses for the scout in Team Fortress 2: Three-Rune Blade (Geralt's sword), Hero's Tail (Geralt's wig) and Sign of the Wolf's School (Witchers' medallion). Those are sufficient arguments to have pre-ordered Steam version!

i downloaded from GOG.COM because more money goes to the developers. they deserve it, the game is amazing.

True true BUT still DRM usually means that you can only install the title a certain amount of times and the retail copies can be installed an unlimited amount of times THEREFORE it isnt true DRM..............or am i mistaken??? Cause ive already installed my title a few times without any problems whatsoever. Anyways i personally prefer to have the disk itself on hand. ANYWAYS the game is great no matter which version you bought as long as you supported the developers that is what matters!

DRM is procedure that tries to bar pirated versions from running, in paper is not so bad, but after the advent of the install limit DRM things have gone from bad to worse...

if the game need the cd/dvd to be put in the dvd-drive, then it have DRM

steam too have DRM, that is the actual steam, that need you to enter with your login to give you access to your games. Although it's a very light DRM since you can just use the option to play offline and the game don't stop if your internet goes down (like assassins creed 2 or starcraft2).

i don't know about you guys, but i have a policy of never buying a game that have this type of draconic DRM, it's really painful for me to not buy assassins creed 2, but i think if we don't talk with our money, no one will talk for us...

WetNoodle, if you have patch 1.1 installed then you should be able to install the game as many times as you feel like as the patch removed DRM from the retail version. CDProject stated the DRM was only there so people who bought the game could play it before the pirates, once it served its purpose they removed it.

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.
