Support NeoGAF

[Zabuza]

CD Projekt are the best. Seriously, news like this makes me happy to be a gamer. There's still good ones out there.

 

[RK9039]

My favourite kind of DLC.

In an open letter, CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński lambasted the current state of affairs, where DLC acts either as carrot dangling in front of certain shops, or as supplementary revenue-booster at launch.

These guys get it.

 

[UrAvgGuy]

holy shit, nice.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Horse armor. Made my day!

 

[KooopaKid]

See Bungie?

 

[anexanhume]

CDPR be like

 

[iosefe]

LOL, still making companies do that.

it's really silly

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

CE and GOG version bought pre-ordered day one. Justified.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Best Dev continues being best Dev.

 

[Rezae]

I question the sincerity or motives, but hell, sometimes you need to put the cynic binders down. In a time when we segregate game companies into heroes and villains, CDPR is definitely a hero right now.

 

[Radec]

Very nice..

 

[ironcreed]

Now that is how it's done. Bravo.

 

[Portugeezer]

The DLC looks light, but good to know.

 

[Ammogeddon]

This has to be a deliberate statement against Activision, EA, and Ubisoft right?

Why else would they do it, there's plenty of time to put it in the game proper.

Either way, big respects to them, I can't stand the way gaming has been going of late.

 

[Tadale]

A horse armor jab? The Witcher 3 is coming out almost 9 years after Oblivion.

 

[Dawg]

Smart marketing.

Not that I'm complaining.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[OmegaDL50]

Because they can make stuff after the game has released?

Which is no different then an update or patch revision.

Patch revisions have added content to games before. Not every post-game content addition needs to be labeled under "DLC"

 

[Carib2g]

Love these guys! Day-1 buy!

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

This has to be a deliberate statement against Activision, EA, and Ubisoft right?

And Bethesda, it would appear.

 

[Nordicus]

Why even make it DLC then?

Post-launch support/content on a singleplayer DRM-free game? Keeps people from reselling the game too quickly

 

[Saint Gregory]

CD Projekt and Platinum: The last two developers left who are keeping it real.

why make it even DLC, then?
and if you believe day one dlc like this is not done before that, you must still believe in santa claus, too.

SE and Level 5 have done the same thing in the past with some of their handheld games. It keeps people from trading them in/selling them quickly after they're done.

 

[Moff]

[muzzymate]

Seriously... Other than the delay into February, has there been any bad news for this game (other than the delay into February? Love these developers. Will be Day 1 purchase for sure.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

I don’t play on PC, and have never played a Witcher game, but I will support such a respectable dev buy purchasing Witcher 3 for my PS4.

 

[Guri]

And one year after, a free upgrade to the Enhanced Edition, if they still release one. CDPR is still awesome.

 

[Linkyn]

Which is no different then an update or patch revision.

Patch revisions have added content to games before. Not every post-game content addition needs to be labeled under "DLC"

Technically, it is downloadable content, though.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

CDPR telling it how it should be. Massive respect to these devs. Have already pre-ordered Witcher 3 on PC and will also grab it for ps4 just to support them further. If only all developers were like this aye!

Roll on February!

 

[RK9039]

They're making a statement.

 

[demosthenes]

Will buy at full price.

 

[Hellsing321]

CDPR showing other devs how it's done!

 

[LiK]

This is how you do it!

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

So they're just content patches right?

I guess calling it free DLC gives them better publicity.

Either way this definitely a good thing.

Pretty much. But people are eating up, so it was definitely a smart move.

 

[Sir Garbageman]

One of the few publishers / developers whose products I will happily buy Day One at full price.

 

[Turkoop]

YOU have to love these guys
Pls everyone, but their game

 

[Auctopus]

Step 1: Take tiny cuts out of the game like armours and haircuts.
Step 2: Say these pieces will arrive as FREE DLC after the game releases.

Honestly, why is it even DLC?

Buying game regardless, though.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Why even make it DLC then?

Really hoping the combat isn't as sketchy as 2. Pretty pumped though.

Because it's an incentive for people to not trade in the game until the 8 weeks of DLC are over. Smart strategy, really.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

I wonder if it will be attached to a download code that comes with purchases of new copies, or if it will just be patched in for everyone.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Technically, it is downloadable content, though.

Exactly

 

[kencey]

Wow, fantastic CDPR thank you

 

[RPGCrazied]

Do you guys think this will have a recap of some sort?

 

[LiK]

Step 1: Take tiny cuts out of the game like armours and haircuts.
Step 2: Say these pieces will arrive as FREE DLC after the game releases.

Honestly, why is it even DLC?

Buying game regardless, though.

Other companies will charge for them. *coughDestinycough*

 

[shiherlis21]

Day 1 for me. Can't wait!

 

[SymbiantXenos]

WOW
Damn guys
RESPECT

You forgot to press F

 

[Ridesh]

CDProjekt being cool as always, that's why I will buy the Collector's Edition.

 

[Zabuza]

Love how people somehow complain about this.

 

[Diprosalic]

they are awesome but this is just a PR stunt.

 

[Spacecowboy77]

Awesome news!

Thanks CDPR

 

[Ammogeddon]

Lol I noticed that too, pure gold.

 

[PuppetSlave]

the game doesn't come out for 3 months, don't tell me their 16 DLC armors and weapons or whatever could not just be part of the game in the first place. Can't believe people are just licking this up.
