1. No
2. The Steam version is not connected with multiplayer GWENT.

This info should be on the steam store page. Because of the regional pricing of steam, people might get ideas.

• Concept art, including the map of Lyria
• The Witcher graphic novel “Fox Children” by Dark Horse
• Two in-game Gwent The Witcher Card Game Player Titles

• Five premium kegs for Gwent The Witcher Card Game)

No Gwent bonuses, AFAIK. Not a single one.

I think putting Thronebreaker on Steam was a good move. I also agree that Steam version of TB shouldn't give GOG keys, since it would have been abusable.
However, as it is right now, it can push people who bought Thronebreaker from Steam back away from Gwent. Double dipping for TB cards in Gwent doesn't feel fair, especially, when the premiums function as rewards in game.
Steam version of Thronebreaker doesn't have to be connected with multiplayer Gwent. You can make the game permanently redeemable through GOG connect and advertise that in its menu. The technology is there. It's not abusable and it can bring a lot of Steam audience to GOG and Gwent.

Steam version doesn't award anything for Gwent...

Why people would choose steam over a standalone version I have no clue

This is a brilliant idea. Hear him out CDPR gods.

Really? Thank you. Was going to buy steam version on sale but now not going to buy neither gog or steam version. I guess good old day of cdpr being a decent company is gone. They went full EA here.
And before you say something, no i'm not going to use gog.

Yes. IMO that's a problem, considering Gwent could benefit greatly from TB popularity on Steam. Premium TB cards in Gwent are designed as rewards in TB. I'm sure people who don't know that and buy the game from Steam will be sorely dissappointed when they realise this after they come to try Gwent.

People like to have all things in one place. Furthermore, Steam gives a lot of possibilities to earn money because of Steam Market. We all know Artifact is coming and it will have very different economy than any other digital card game. Getting Thronebreaker (and its cards in Gwent) by selling Artifact cards on Steam Market (or CS:GO, Dota2 skins etc.) could be a great way to direct players from Steam to Gwent (and GOG).

What happened to the GOG exclusive CDPR was so adamant about on release just a few weeks back?

I would have probably bought it on GOG anyway because of Gwent bonuses, but this is a really shitty move to say it will be exclusive to GOG and then pull this BS.
Plus its priced the same as on GOG so you are not even promoting GOG by slapping the steam version with a 30% Valve cut tax.

This has really dented my respect for CDPR as an open consumer friendly publisher. Shame.

 

[linoano]

Will GWENT be available on Steam soon?

Will GWENT be available on Steam soon?

I would like to know the answer to this as well.

then you would've been very pissed to find out that there are no gwent bonuses for the steam version

Hey CDPR, I have finished already the adventure. Have to say that it was really nice the deep history and have to choose different decisions was really fun.. But all the battles (excepting the puzzles) were really easy, I think you didn't balance correctly the enemy units, I have played with the last difficulty and it was not challenging at all... I hope the next adventure you could make this part better.

Cheers!

 

[Louschen]

I'm very disappointed CDPR. You said that it will be GOG exclusive. Now a few weeks later it's available on Steam? It seems you guys can't keep your word and promises.

Hello, the regional pricing on Steam for Indian Rupee was changed from Rs. 699 to Rs. 2149 without any notice.

May I know why is that the case?
