Dear CDPR Web Developers/Designers...
2 things.
1. I visited: http://thewitcher.com and was visited by an age gate. If I may make a suggestion: Preferably, you can reduce the complexity of the request and aid in usability by merely asking the user's age with a single input box than the 3 separate inputs for individual components of their birth date. The reason why the latter was more difficult is also because the Day and Month fields are not marked, and in the US, the standard format for dates is mm-dd-yyyy. However, since no Day/Month was clearly marked, the verification failed, and I presumed then that you wanted dd-mm-yyyy (which is not common in the US).
2. Your sites, are bad-f*cking-*ss. I hope there's no loss in that translation from English to Polish. But it takes a truly professional site, in terms of both form and function, to impress me, and your sites constantly do that. I know many times that web professionals don't get the respect they deserve because many do not see them as active participants in the development of the game itself. But a website is an ever-present business front for the product, and when it presents itself professionally, stylistically and functionally in the way your team has done with these sites, it's hard to deny the value your bring to the franchise. So my kudos to your crew for the great job!
As for the rest of CDPR. I'm eager to hear about the pre-order for the Collector's Edition. This will be the first game I've ever purchased a CE for, and one of the core reasons why I'm choosing to do so is because of how well-respected you are in the PC community. I believe in putting my money where my mouth is, and with what I've seen you do in the past, I know you're more than capable to make good. Keep holding the bar high, and keep doing what you do. To say that CDPR is a highly-talented group of professionals is such and understatement. Thanks for all you do! Can't wait for February 2015!
