Oh all of the memories from Witcher 2
CD Projekt Red is a freaking awesome developer. They release excellent PC games, release massive DLCs for free (Witcher Enhanced edition was 100% free, and all their patches add new content) and GOG is 100% DRM-free.
Witcher 3 will come with 16 free DLCs for everyone who bought from any shop on any platform and at any point in time.:
In an open letter, CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński lambasted the current state of affairs, where DLC acts either as carrot dangling in front of certain shops, or as supplementary revenue-booster at launch.
"We love games," he began. "We love collecting them, playing them, and everything connected to that experience. Every time we reach out for a new release, we expect to be taken care of. We expect support if we encounter any problems, we love updates constantly improving the experience, and we feel really special when we receive free content that gives us more than we initially paid for. It doesn't have to be huge, it can be an awesome skin for a character or an extra sword, or armour.
"Unfortunately this treatment is quite rare these days. As gamers, we nowadays have to hold on tight to our wallets, as [un]surprisingly right after release, lots of tiny pieces of tempting content materialise with a steep price tag attached. Haven't we just paid a lot of cash for a brand new game?
"At CD Projekt Red, we strongly believe this is not the way it should work.
Eastern European game developers in generally are great and very focused on PC features and developing for the PC, Croteam gave us the excellent Talos Principle for $40 (that game's menu has an insane amount of PC specific graphical tweaks), GSC Game World gave us the excellent STALKER series for cheap, Paradox gave us the excellent Cities Skylines for $30.
Thank you Based Eastern European game developers.
