EDIT: @War Machine Never mind

 

[Einhaender]

I may add that the version posted by @War Machine is the unedited version, which has some false/unexplained statements in it, which used to cause a little "debate".

It's actually only one line after the text about the first Witcher game and regarding the DRM: *Original had Tages, Steam & GOG don't have any.

Here's the version with the line about the DRM for anyone interested.

I never heard of Tages before now. Looking it up it's actually not as bad as other DRM it seems (more of a simple disk copy protection, than something that interferes with your system, ownership or game play). It should be pointed out that TW2 had DRM as well for like 1 week before it was patched out. But yeah ever since those days CDPR has decided to stop using it altogether.

Tages was horrible.........................

I have bad memories when it comes to Tages, it was horrible.

I often couldn't play games from my original discs because Tages messed up.
My CD-ROM had a major problem with it, because Tages employs the twin sector method.

That is actually what I read up. I guess it sounded better on paper than in execution

You know, I think DRM really is pointless~
I'm fine with it as long as it doesn't annoy me, but I don't understand why companies sink time and money into it.

I feel like it's the wrong approach to the problem of sales.
DRM often causes more complications for people who buy the games, then for people who pirate them.

GOG.com/CDPR has found the right solution to the issue:
They don't focus on punishing piracy, but on rewarding honest customers instead.

I really appreciated the loyalty discount they offered for TW3~

Ah yes I was never a supporter for it. This is why I shop at GOG when I can. I was just curious, I have been on the wrong end of securom and starforce in the past so I guess I saw a lesser evil.

Of course if I am to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all

9 times out of 10 people that downloaded a pirated copy of a game will access that game more easily than people that bought it legitimately. Drag and drop crack, launch game vs. weird authentication methods or some other shit companies come up with nowadays (lol always online).

Crack groups are offering a better service than the companies that sell these games, for free even. It shows in what a sorry state the gaming industry is. That's why I appreciate what CDPR and GOG are doing, treat your customer like goddamn human being and not like a potential thief, it's fucking degrading.

(I'm in no way advocating piracy, it's just a comparison to put things into perspective.)

 

[HeadClot]

I prefer to shop Steam or GOG.com but preferably GOG.com when I can.

CD Project RED is awesome!

On TW2, it also meant that when Windows 7 came out the game wouldn't work any more, it was a major cause of the performance issues of the first version, and the removal was a PITA.

On the positive side, the nightmare of Tages is probably one reason why we got the free GOG backup (easier than trying to update your disk copy through patching) and why TW3 retail will be DRM-free.

That's exactly my trail of thought, Dragonbird.

I vividly remember the patch notes for W1's Enhanced Edition; "Loading times reduced by 90%."

Ever since the Witcher 1, I was scared of entering doors in RPGs.
Luckily the Enhanced Edition cut the loading times and cured that fear~

I got into the series through the Enhanced Edition of the first game so I guess I dodged the bullet.

15 min to enter Vizima when you're done in the Outskirts. I still have nightmares.

I once had a crash to desktop right after that dreaded loading screen.

The more I think about it the more I like to believe that Sapkowski wrote the books
to pass the time between the loading screens of the Witcher 1.
