I have purchased The Witcher 2 from Direct2Drive with DRM!
Is there a chance to UPGRADE to the GOG-Version with a discount?

I don`t want this crappy DRM (SECUROM) on my computer!!!!

Second that!

I'd be OK with a deadline as well (say 2 month after release) when CDPR comes out with a patch to remove all DRM. At that point the majority of the sales already happened, and who wanted to pirate the game already did, so there is no point in using DRM any longer (not that there is now, but that is another story).

This was asked for some time back without getting an official response, but no harm in repeating the request!

Same here.

I bought the collector edition, but would be happy if I could get a DRM free edition of the game.

Guys why didnt you buy it from GOG? Developers would get more money that way...

Gee, I wonder why.... buying the game for 45 (or €49.99) euros or 30 euros.. tough choice.

You can get witcher2.exe and paul.dll from GoG version, replace those files with the D2D version or the retail version, and there you go, you got the GoG version. The game will load much faster, and you'll gain more FPS if you have a dual core or a Quad core CPU computer. Go to gamecopyworld.com search for The Witcher 2, then select the link under 'Game Fixes', then download the file that says "done by GoG" And yes this works, I have the D2D version and my game is loading much faster, and I have gained about 10FPS on a quad core computer.

One of the developers posted in the comments section of The Witcher website supports doing this if you have a license to the game. Do you use that same idea for everything you buy in life?

I paid 31euros for the GOG version... (+ The Collector's Edition)

You must be from the UK, because they are the only ones getting that price. Everyone else in Europe has to pay the 45 euros, but they get in store credit back for the price difference. In store credit is useless if there is nothing else in the store someone might want. http://www.gog.com/en/news/the_witcher_2_digital_premium_edition_price_on_gog_dropped_for_uk_customers

Can you link this, please?

I can't even remember what section it was in anymore, and those comments sections can have 400+ comments each. But someone did take a screenshot of it. http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/6638/platinum.png

Sadly the screenshot is useless. I got banned on another forum because the mod thought the image was false...
I found it, luckily: http://www.en.thewitcher.com/community/entry/20/#comment-208033714

I changed it to US, but so what? Not that they lost a lot of money, since they gave GOG credit's to everyone who paid the full price anyway and they have to pay for the licenses they are selling.

It isnt up to the developers, as GOG are the ones distributing it it is up to GOG as from a legal standing they are the only ones allowed to distribute that specific file.
