Wow, it looks like this thread has had no trouble kicking off... >.>
I've been a huge fan of The Witcher and CDPR since the very first game. My 2 cents really boil down to:
1. Gwent itself sounds pretty cool! I look forward to seeing it in-game and hope it's a fun and welcome distraction in taverns. I was one of those who probably spent too much time with things like dice poker before (if there's such a thing, haha). So this sounds great to me.
2. Exclusivity of any kind, particularly when everyone's paying the same exact price, is never okay. I was extremely surprised to hear the news about the Xbox One CE additions, and ultimately terribly disappointed. CDPR always came across as a company that didn't condone this type of behavior that's become so rampant in the gaming industry lately. Ultimately, I don't think the items themselves are what have so many people upset; it's the principle of the matter. I'm guessing a lot of fans feel betrayed because, for a lot of countries, it's already too late to change your CE preorder -- and this move tells fans, "It's okay for PC fans (who've been fans since the first game) and PS fans to pay the same amount of money as Xbox One fans for less product."
Ah well. It is what it is.
