Look, they’re doing their bit – CD Projekt is launching The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings over their own site, GOG, and it’s coming DRM-free, bundled with a bunch of extra goodies, and tagged at a scandalously reasonable $44.99 (around about R300 or so). That covers most of the “I PIRATE GAEMZ BECUZ…” subordinate clauses. <\/p>\n
So, if you’re planning on pirating it anyway, CD Projekt won’t be nice about it. Talking to Eurogamer<\/a>, company co-founder Marcin Iwi\u0144ski says that, “Of course we’re not happy when people are pirating our games, so we are signing with legal firms and torrent sneaking companies. In quite a few big countries, when people are downloading it illegally they can expect a letter from a legal firm saying, ‘Hey, you downloaded it illegally and right now you have to pay a fine. We are totally fair, but if you decide you will not buy it legally there is a chance you’ll get a letter.”<\/p>\n Whether or not those “big countries” includes South Africa remains to be seen, but consider yourself warned in the meantime. <\/p>\n
