Zero. Zip. Nada. It doesn\u2019t matter if you choose to buy it on GOG.com and support us directly or buy the game in box format, you\u2019ll still get the 100% DRM-free experience. And this goes for the whole world.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be on Steam; the team isn\u2019t going to exclude that community by any means. Gamers have a choice in where they buy their games, but where CDPR does have control \u2014 like GOG.com \u2014 there will be absolutely no DRM.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This should please PC gamers, who will also be receiving all Witcher 3 DLC for free.<\/p>\n<p>CD Projekt RED\u2019s upcoming sequel is set to expand upon the critically-acclaimed predecessor, and with the technology and power of next-gen gaming machines, it\u2019s looking to do so with ease.<\/p>\n<p>MyGaming got to view a 45-minute gameplay demo of Wild Hunt and there are <strong><a title=\"The Witcher 3: next-gen RPG highlights\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/57809-the-witcher-3-next-gen-rpg-highlights.html\">5 things that highlight just how brilliant the game is looking<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Witcher 3 news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/57809-the-witcher-3-next-gen-rpg-highlights.html\">The Witcher 3: next-gen RPG highlights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/videos\/57325-witcher-3-game-of-thrones-star-lends-voice.html\">Witcher 3: Game of Thrones star lends voice<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/55513-witcher-3-dlc-to-be-free.html\">Witcher 3 DLC to be free<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/51311-the-witcher-3-new-screens-details.html\">The Witcher 3: new screens, details<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developer CD Projekt Red continues to not use anti-piracy measures. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":50260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2122,21,8658,1093,2155,8657],"class_list":["post-59782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-cd-projekt-red","tag-headline","tag-redengine-3","tag-the-witcher","tag-the-witcher-3","tag-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59782"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59841,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59782\/revisions\/59841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
