Reptile and Yeahbrah collectively represent my take on this.
The Sony conference hasn't shown yet. For all we know, TW3 will get a little air time there to show how it utilizes that platform and its individual merits. There is nothing to suggest CDPR received special compensation for displaying at the MS conference. I imagine they did in some fashion because they made compelling uses for Kinect and SmartGlass but it could just as easily be prime exposire that was compensation, which is no small thing in E3 where space is valuable. It's not enough to swallow the bitter pill of XB1 for me but still---kudos for the efforts you guys at CDPR make to strive for some form of parity in development for everyone.
Also, TW2 was on 360. It makes sense that of the two consoles they'd go with MS first if not period as far as E3 is concerned. There's an install base there, despite how marginal it seems to many here who play on PC (and rightfully so---I'm going to make that jump someday) where there isn't yet for Sony.
Personally I'm also grateful to get the trailers and info now as opposed to later. What I saw was stunning and I plan to watch it over and over to figure out where the new mechanics display are.
Your terminology is ridiculous frankly but how it is has already been pointed out. It supposes that CDPR was made aware of something and paid not to talk about it. What did they not talk about exactly? Maybe your problem is more to do with putting The Witcher 3 on a platform that has confirmed DRM in the form of a necessary 24 hour log in once a day to use the game. That's on Microshits though. CDPR could walk away and decry this practice and maybe they look better for it. Or you have a group of people who are dismayed they can't play what will be an excellent game on the platform of their choice if CDPR made that choice and it makes them look bad to a different group of gamers.
I think that scenario above is bullshit though. CDPR will make the right decision as they can according to each platform. And there is nothing you've said or likely can say that would make me feel otherwise. But I kind of hope you'll try because I'm confused by your claims more than any disdain for them.

/> and this is the "weapon" which CDPR offer us to fight against DRM if we want to be heared by restritive plataforms holders.
