DLC creates new entries in Control Panel -> Programs and Features

Hi guys.

I wanted to un-install some old programs I had, and headed to Control Panel -> Programs and Features. I noticed that every single DLC and the main game were listed as entries (I have the GOG version) - that amounts to seventeen entries just for a single game, once the DLC program ends. I do not observe this behaviour in other games, such as Civilization V which has more than thirty DLC (imagine if everyone with Civ V had to sift through 30 extra listings just to uninstall a program!).

The DLC should be managed exclusively by GOG alone as it is easy enough to check/uncheck boxes there - I do not see the need to create extra entries in the Control Panel list. Please fix this, @CDPR by removing all the DLC and just keeping the game.

This make you to uninstall them whenever you want. The GOG Galaxy just download the exe installer of every DLC.

You can uninstall the DLC in Galaxy by going to the game, More -> Configure -> uncheck the DLC under Available Content. Having the entries in Control Panel seems unnecessary.

So, what about if you have no internet connection by any reason? You can unistall them without any conection required aka, no DRM.

I am just saying that other games, even TW2, do not have this unnecessary feature. I don't really see why anyone would want to uninstall DLC, and it is clogging up space in Control Panel. Really.

Does seem like a strange decision and it'll be quite a mess once all 16 DLCs are out, plus the 2 expansions, and whatever else comes out in the meantime.

Same problem here.

I know it will seem like a nit pick to some, but having 16 extra listings will be a problem once EVERYONE starts doing it.
