Dear Gamers, 
May 19th was a crucial date for all of us here at CD PROJEKT RED -- we
released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, our open world role-playing game
that we had been hard at work on for over 3 years. Since day one, you
have given us tons of positive feedback and support -- the sheer
volume of emails we�ve gotten since launch simply congratulating us
for our efforts is both epic and heartwarming, and I wish every
developer comes to have such a fantastic community. In terms of media
reception, we�re really humbled by the scores the game has received
all around the world. With an average of 90+ on every platform, Wild
Hunt is our dream coming true. 
I�d also like to take this opportunity to thank the four million
gamers worldwide who bought The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the first two
weeks from launch. Four million RPG fans spending their hard-earned
money on our game is a sign that we did something right, and you can
be sure that we�ll harness all that positive energy and make the
upcoming expansions worthy of the grand adventure that you�re telling
us Wild Hunt already is! Until then, keep on enjoying Wild Hunt, do
not forget to grab your weekly set of free DLCs, and stay tuned for
constant updates and enhancement to the game we are continuously
working on. 
Dandelion once said to Geralt that the world is changing, the sun is
setting, and vodka�s running out -- go, play, and have fun! 
All the best, 
Marcin Iwinski 
Co-founder, CD PROJEKT RED

hmmm..... completely DRM-free too, at least if purchased from GOG...at
exactly the same price as all the other download sources. Just before
the game was released, GOG stated  thet there were 1.5 million
pre-orders.

Seems as if there are far more honest PC-game purchasers than are
usually credited by our resident Steam-DRM fanatic. 

The sales numbers certainly seems to justify CD-Projekt's/GOG's faith
in the honesty of their customer base. How refreshing !

Also, how nice to see a sincere thank-you note directly from a
developer to their fans.
