Copy the installation disks onto a flashdrive and take that?
Like make ISOs? That should work right? There's no intrusive copy protection. That'd be very practical.
You're a genius!
CDPR said (on GOG) that it's not planned now, but might happen in the future with GOG version, like it did with TW1 and TW2. But since they didn't give any time frame, assume it won't be soon. Now that FAQ is missing on GOG for some reason.

Create images of DVDs and store them on your hard drive. Install from them instead of physical disks. It should always be a normal practice anyway. Optical disks deteriorate with time and should not be used for long term storage.

You may be thinking of burned DVDs. These are very different from the pressed DVDs that software is distributed on.
Burned DVDs, 5-6 years tops, unless you select, burn, handle, and store your media professionally.
Pressed DVDs, forever unless you damage them from too much handling, or store them in an atmosphere that corrodes aluminum.
What you suggest is still the best way, so long as your games are not stored on just one hard disk.

Entire DVD music collection: Less than five years after moving to a hot humid climate. Hard-drive backup is good.
I think so, they posted two screenshots about the translated UI and announced the languages available in the Hungarian version - which I'm confused about since I thought every language is available in every version.
Latest post.
Edit: The information is 100% official and from Cenega Hungary (distributor) as it seems.
Ah ok, that clears it up then. That's why it doesn't show when I try to region switch from the official page. Thanks for clarifying.
What I've linked is not Cenega's page, though. "The Witcher Hungary" (The Witcher Magyarország) seems (to me) like a semi-official page if you will. They do some interviews with the devs and it looks like they're in contact with the Hungarian distributor. I asked them whether the info is official, and they confirmed it's from Cenega Hungary.
The witcher 3 boxed version
Hi. the boxed version of the game will support up steam ?

No. The boxed version will not have any DRM and won't be connected to GoG or Steam.
The PC boxed version is a stand alone product. It's not an extension of Steam or GOG. That means you can install and play the game without the need of internet or Steam. It's how all PC boxed versions of games should be sold in retail, without DRM.
The Steam version is a stand alone version and can only be bought from Steam.
The GOG version is a stand alone version and can only be bought from GOG.

This makes sense and this is how it should work at retail. Steam and GOG shouldn't be in retail.
So to answer your question. No. The boxed version of The Witcher 3 will have nothing to do with Steam.

Well... maybe.
The boxed retail will be linked to the GoG distribution of the expansions though... as far as we have been told so far.
