this doesn't make a lick of sense. Its not like they are asking you to download a massive file or a day one patch, all it requires is a small file and then you can unplug the computer and play offline. If you dont want to patch or do anything don't, but this is 2015, even people with bad internet can download a small file... and compared to virtually every other game I have bought this year, this is nothing.

I pre-ordered the retail version, because i don't want to download so much GBs again. I could download it, but i want to have it faster than "3-days-permanent-downloading".
Why should i sell the key afterwards? Its my backup, the CDs can break, getting lost or sth else.
I like this system a lot and i expected that we can't play as soon as we get our retail version.
It's nothing to bitch about here, lol.

@Persei8, trying to make a point when it has nothing to say in this discussion and to continue with it, is derailing.
Instead, it is more appropriate for you to start a separate thread somewhere else to discuss what you are discussing now.
To be honest, it's a bit tacky to say "I am the voice of those without a voice here"
Like me saying, "I speak for everyone who is not here right now because I say so.."

This is 2015 and half of the world is without internet. For someone like you, here on the internet, it's easy for you to download anything. Just because it's easy for you don't expect it to be easy for all. This PC retail product of CDPR is not for all. People with no internet can not buy this product. I know you can't fathom the offline world. But it's out there. And CDPR has cut them off, just like the rest of the PC retail game publishers.
It's 2015 and many people have many problems and your problem is that many other people have a problem and you want to tell everyone that they have a problem and it's not cool, but you already said this in your first post.
I think you are being unreasonable and unfair, and the developers of The Witcher 3 has been fantastic and is being very fair and reasonable, you are not. Sorry!

Dude. enjoy this product. It's for people like you. But let's not act like the offline gamers has not been cut off. Let's not act like these gog codes and the retail product, will not be sold off, secondhand. This is going to happen. This is going to happen a lot all over from day 1. Just because you don't want to hear it, doesn't mean it's not going to happen.
I don't want this to happen. A simple retail PC game product with no backup codes and no internet needed, would have been fine. If people decided to sell the product, for whatever reason, they could sell it for less than what they paid for the product.
But that's not the case here.

There are options. They are being clear and upfront. You dont like that you need the internet but when faced with the option that requires not to need the internet it is still not good enough. If you have internet enough to post on forums you have internet enough to download a 'start' file.
I know one thing for sure, compare to virtually other game maker in this whole world (other than Paradox) CD are amazing, effortless and transparent. I am more than happy to jump through ONE hoop just to play compared to all thers that put road blocks up at every turn and virtually want your blood and even then the game doesn't work for the first.
I will enjoy The Witcher 3, that's why I'm here, right.
There are bigger problems in the world than people not having Internet access at home to download a patch for the Witcher 3.
Good thing tho, some of those people might know some people that have Internet and will be able to download a patch from their home, yay!
CDProjekt makes big efforts to avoid as much as possible big DRM systems.
In exchange to that, they have to face even more egocentric reactions than if they were steam only.
It's a wonderful world.

Isn't this exactly what they've done, from the perspective of offline players? If they have no way to go online, they'll just have to wait a little bit more to get the game. CDPR isn't cutting people with no access to the Internet off from playing the game, they're just saying they'll have to wait for the second production batch.
Plus, first you say you'll sell the game and wait for "the product you wanted", then you say you'll be able to download everything at day-one and will play anyway until it comes out. So which one is it?
Maybe you should just calm down a bit and reorganize your thoughts, because I'm have a bit of a hard time following you.
I'm not convinced that half the world who has a PC that can play the Witcher3 doesn't have access to internet. The reasoning that you give isn't valid. I also don't see what you're trying to achieve, no one else agrees with you.
Yes that is the case. The offline PC buyers will have to wait. And they shouldn't have to wait.
And I'm not speaking about myself. I am speaking about the PC retail game product that CDPR is selling and what could happen and what's going to happen. Hell I might even join in.
As it stands with the product. You buy it, install it, sell it, and you can still play the game. So you can sell two versions, which means you can get more money than what you paid for the product. That's going to happen. I don't mean me, but that will happen from day 1. I can be sure of that.
Then the other thing is the offline buyers being cut off.
A simple DRM-free product with no backup codes and no internet needed would have been fine. No unnecessary problems.
Well if offline gamers being cut off and getting the option of selling two products after buying one product, is ok for CDPR to not get the game leaked or pirated.

Why is it dead and how can you wake it up. Dare I say include the offline gamers again. lol.

Oh so you telling me I don't see what I see. wow. Put put your experiences onto me. Your experiences does not equate the world.
So , you're thinking there's PC gamers without using any internet connection.. You're just ridiculous.
@Persei8, this is all hearsay.
You can not speak for others in a discussion, or for others who are not here.
Nothing you say for others has any value in this discussion as they are not present.
In a discussion you should speak for yourself, and yourself alone.
Or else I will begin to speak for the dead.
