I'm sure traffic is very important, but you can be competitive without making a loss. Digital retail economies aren't my thing so I can't say for sure either way.

As for the contraventions of the distributions agreement, I was referring to the reselling of retail keys, not the sub-$60 prices, but again, I'm not an expert. It just seems plausible that there could be something dodgy there what with there being so many legal grey areas with digital retail stores.

Hahaha, I love these Conan segments. :D The way that other guy pronounces people's names though... cringe.

I see the price on GMG has gone to $60. Good. GMG were going against their own stance by selling unauthorised keys.

Good on CDPR for coming to a compromise as well. With GMG's promo code, the price matches the discount on other platforms, if you already own the previous two games.

Just went to pay the last R500 for my CE! :D Only 11 more days!

"They tricked me into being turned on!" LOL!!!

The Clueless Gamer show is so funny, wonder if I would be able to breathe sitting next to Conan O'Brien doing a gameplay video.

Anyway, the game looks sooo damn awesome. I can't wait for this shit :P

Can't handle the hype!

I wish they'd give us a list of the voice actors though.

Time to go dark, copies already spotted in the Wild [Hunt]. A few streams have also started popping up on Twitch.

Review embargo is the 12th of May. Can't wait to see what reviewers think. Here is how the Prima guide will look.

Preload on GOG was live for a few minutes.
EDIT: It's back up now.
The size is 26GB when downloading through GOG Galaxy and 22,5GB for the plain GOG links.

Surprisingly small. I guess there must be some crazy compression going on there.

Can't wait! Reviews are coming out tomorrow.

i went to GOG.com and tried to download via the links but all i got was a 404 error :(

Couldn't pre-load from GOG just now, keep getting 404 error so I started the pre-load with the Galaxy Client. It doesn't look like there is a pause button for Galaxy so I'm kind of worried that I will need to download from the beginning if something goes wrong.

EDIT: Screw that, not taking the risk with GOG Galaxy, even if I close the app and restart the download fails and it has to restart anyway. Will wait for the links on GOG.com to work again.
