GODzillaGSPB: True, but Bioware / EA probably spent it in North-America which is a little bit bigger. A tiny little bit. :D
As far as central Europe is concerned I think both games where equally present in the media. I've seen more for DA2 on the internet, but I think I remember a tv advertising for The Witcher 2 only.
Well, obviously. I was just making the point, that marketing spending wasn't shy either, even with the smaller budget. Which is definitely a good thing, without a hype like this even a well made game could be easily overlooked and forgotten. Plus nothing convinces investors more than premiere sales.
The lower costs are actually an edge for CDPR if you think of corporate results in terms of costs-earnings.
Here's hoping you guys get enough money to make a brilliant third part, yet remain at heart the wonderful team that gave us the first two installments of this wonderful series.
