Will Witcher 3 be DRM-free on Steam?
I'm really curious if Witcher 3 will be DRM-free on Steam. It would be pretty strange if CDPR sold the game on Steam with DRM given their anti-DRM crusade. On the other hand, DRM-freeness is their prime marketing approach for GOG so they might want to push people to buy the game on GOG by adding DRM to the Steam version. But then again it would be against their basic values and I doubt it...
And for those of you who didn't already know yet: yes, games can be DRM-free on Steam. In fact, many games are. You only need the Steam client to download these game (similar to the GOG downloader). Once that is done you can play them without the client and you can copy the game filed whereever you want them to be (even to different PCs of course).
Here you can find the full, extensive list of DRM-free games on Steam: http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games
Witcher 3 would be a welcomed addition to the list imo. I will definitely get a Steam version on top of my physical CE so I have a personal interest here as well (I still hope that a Steam key will be included in the CE package...)
