and it is appreciated. :) You guys have a wonderful attitude, and while I haven't purchased The Witcher yet I hear from my friends that it is an especially good game.

Any news if the online download includes digital versions of the CDs included (I.E. music inspired by the witcher?)

I believe that is a seperate download ;)
Take a look at the FAQ - it's informative and has links to all the relevent files.

Gonna doublecheck when I get the chance but if theres none of that stuff I'm likely gonna buy it. :)
Appreciate the info!

I stand corrected. Thanks for the link. :)

Too bad it has to have such a DRM scheme as the game looked promising, but I will pass on TAGES and thus the game.
I mean, DRM is one of the reasons I am at gog and not buying new games after all.

Life is better here in the 90s..haha.

Yes it is. I have control of my computer and for me that is worth more than playing games that are produced today but come with way too many unknown control software attached. I will avoid any DRM I can and never feel bad doing it.. :o)

If you buy it via steam or Stardocks Impulse there is no protection.

Yeah, I loved turning to page 47 of a manual and looking up the second word in the third paragraph and typing it in in order to play a game, when I likely had lost the manual or threw it away.
DRM isn't something new, it's just changed how it's implemented.

That was like one game. :P
Either way there was far less of it..

Could not agree more. I have removed my Steam and Stardock games and will never use them again. For me personally, Stardock is worse than Steam. At least Steam is up front about their DRM, but Stardock tries to sell itself as No DRM when Impulse is their DRM. You cannot update or download anything for your game apart from Impulse. Impulse is not an option, it is mandatory and thus is a form of DRM.
In fact Stardock has even broken its own Gamers Bill of Rights by selling DRM laden games, but of course since Brad tells you it has it on the purchase page, that makes it all OK.
Stardock will only get worse as Brad has made it clear that what he cares about is profits, and if DRM games will make him a profit you will see it.

Three things.
1. I do not lose my manuals.
2. DRM is not new, but it is now hazardous to your computer and the longevity of playing the game you bought.
3. gog does not use this style and I will stick with that.

Not true really most games on Steam have separate protection like Securom (Stalker for ex.) if Steam was DRM there wouldn't be a need for a another one now would there. You can play games offline both on steam and impulse once you download.
