Apparently EA is doing some free (and expensive) advertisement for CD Projekt with this game. I think we might expect a piece of information about Witcher 3 next week just as an excuse to throw in how crappy always-online DRM is bad for consumers.

@Apastron @uxtull For Witcher 2 Atari only published boxed copy of PC version in US, CD Projekt also worked with Warner (Xbox US release) and Namco (world release for PC and Xbox), but all those companies were merely a distributors of hard copies and had nothing to do with actual production CDPR games. They'll be looking for new publishers on E3, but CD Projekt is not noly a dev studio but a much bigger corporation that distributes stuff of other big companies such as Acti Blizzard, Codemasters, Sega, Ubi (among others) in Poland and some other Central European countries. Soon they might be able to release all physical copies worldwide just by themselves.

@Toysoldier34 @uxtull It would still be pretty questionable for a big company like CD Projekt to launch Kickstarter campaign. Double Fine is a much smaller company.

@Toysoldier34 @Daian CD Projekt is a large corporation man. They're independent in the sense their dev teams are manged by the same people who founded the company 20 years ago to distribute games of big players such as Blizzard and Microsoft (among many others) first in Poland, and later on in most of the rest Central Europe. They'll do fine without crowd funding.

@milannoir We all do. Except I love them more than other people.

@Apastron Except they always had a publisher and work with even bigger ones to sell their box copies worldwide.

@franky111 @Shango4 Technically they already have a publisher, they always had. Only not big enough to distribute box copies worldwide, so they work with bigger publishers in same fashion like Valve did with their box release of Left 4 Dead 1 & 2.

@Aydenuille Go on then and buy those copies.

@NeOmeGamer Well, they said themselves that if they'd ever do an 'actual' expansion that could provide significant chunk of gameplay and new content to a base game than they would consider charging for it.

@vihazur So you mean they should make like 2 square miles worth of hand made content and produce an engine that would cover houndreds of thousents square miles with copy/paste landscape and villages? Sure, I guess they could do that if they wanted to...
