UK_John: EDIT: The CDPR page has JUST been updated and now show GAME to order it from, GAME has sold out, of course, and no option to buy direct, which is what I thought the official page was all about. Seems there are still copies available on console, so either console gamers are poorer, or CDPR made more available for console. Not happy with CDPR at all at the moment. Most I have ever been disappointed in them!
Ditto. This is very poor planning.
Why not get the number of preorders _before_ actually deciding on the number of copies you intend to sell?
Why not offer the real version here at your very own site?
I sure have no intentiohn at all to give even a single cent to Mr Bezos or any other retailer, even less if they are the ones that demand incredibly low numbers of copies of physical editions just so they don't need to stock them (just in case that is their line of reasoning).
To be honest, after playing and absolutely loving Witcher 3, I was sure of preordering your new game. After today, I'm absolutely not. Right now there doesn't seem to be a way to get the physical collectoer's edition at all, and even less so directly from you. But if I can only get the digital version anyway, I can just as well wait for the eventual sale of the digital version.
You certainly have an extremely efficient way to kill a player's hint of a hype.
