Make your collection even more legendary.

The GWENT Starter Pack is now available on GOG.com.
This is a limited, one-time only offer and a great way to reinforce your card collection with additional units, spells, and heroes, including a guaranteed Legendary card! Whether you’re new to The Witcher Card Game or a seasoned player, you’ll get a total of 51 cards of various rarity, plus crafting resources for creating premium animated versions of cards.

Once you purchase the GWENT Starter Pack, the items included in it will automatically be added to your account and become available the next time you log in to GWENT.

nightcraw1er.488: Likely cyberpunk will bring in micro transactions, it almost came here with the two worlds new pack.
:o(

Let's please hope that you're wrong on that. I wish I could say that with ultimate confidence, but alas there's plenty of room for uncertainty at the present. :/

eiii: "Be first to rate" - You cannot even rate it.
I believe that is the standard default for all games that are not yet officially released.

I think it's pretty safe to say though card games like GWENT are usually always F2P and are designed for competive e-sports and stuff like that. So CDPR is liklely just following the model layed out as a proven success seeing as this the first real forway into that.

I very much doubt that will change how the approach Cyberpunk...

Yep. Gwent isn't even listed as in development.

bdavid92: Amazing how people "expand" the definition of drm or outright doesnt even knowwhat drm is but love to use it to justify their paranoia "GOG will start selling games with drm people!" haha!
Yeah, like whenever a dev has a key for an account to log onto official servers people call it DRM, despite people being able to play off-line. Though it would be nice to have third-party servers being an option in all cases.

What the hell is this, GOG?

The game already has optional microtransactions within it. It's free, mind, and judging by the words of people who played other card games (I haven't) it's quite generous with free rewards, and fair to "free-only" players.

So this is just a paid pack like any card keg you can buy in-game. Which is free. And online.

I played it a bit, and it's very cool. I don't know if I will get into it seriously (probably not), but I've built a couple of decks and won a ton of cards for free, not spending a dime. As I understand, there is no discrimination between paid or free cards - the ones I got (and I kinda get Gwent, playing it to death in Witcher 3 and playing this for hours) are totally legit useful cards.

If I wanted a bargain "mega-card-keg" (usual one gives you 5 cards), I would definitely look at this offer. Nothing scandalous here. Considering how much production value went into it, it's totally fair I think. The amount of art and quality of everything (CDProjekt, not surprised) is very substantial and cannot be essentially free, simply by the same philosophy that underlies the fair-price, reward the creators GOG policy.

It's just a heavily discounted pack of 10 normal in-game kegs with hefty extras thrown in.

The installed fully updated Gwent game declares itself to be a beta for what it's worth.

For one, I'm questioning how trustworthy that list is, and what amount of time it covers.
Not that it'd be surprising in itself. Very few people care for anything in general. Or actually think in general, for that matter. But, you know, back in the day, Steam was hugely popular, yet GOG started with clear, firm mission statements depicting a contrasting model, targeted clearly at those who were firmly outside that large majority, who cared for things the market didn't cater for. Where's the place for those now?

themortal: Unfortunately, young people are stupid enough to buy the business model.
Thanks to these people, lootboxes will survive and scr*w you until the end of times -_-
Eh, make that people in general. Always has been the case.

Breja: Anyway, I don't see why there is even any argument about whether Gwent is DRM free when even GOG doesn't pretend it is. Just look at the game's page. Where it says "DRM FREE" on every other game's page. Do you see that on Gwent's page? No. Case closed.
QFT!

Yeshu: The game IS and multiplayer online game, that is the core gameplay mode! As such it HAS to be online! The DRM definition does not aply here. It would be like calling an out an MMO for beaing always online to play.
See above. Also, if they really wanted to make it DRM free, they'd have made the whole official server thing just an option. So you can play on official servers and compete with others that way, for which you need account and progress saved on server and game as a service and ways to check against tampering and so on, microtransactions applying there only, but also have tools to play on and host private servers, play LAN or other direct connection skirmishes, and even play hot seat games with all progress entirely local. And all that just for the strictly multiplayer part, I mean.

I think it means one per account.

I'm assuming it means you can only buy 1 per account, otherwise they would be losing Money.

On average 6-8 wone mathes give you enough curency to buy a keg. Also there are the daily threshholdes that can give you a keg. Compering this to other digital card games that make you grind forever (I'm looking at you Heartstone) Gwent throws dards at you like crazy.
