The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings from GOG won’t have any DRM

By on March 14, 2011

It was pretty much well known that the GoG version of CD Projekt RED’s much anticipated RPG, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, would be DRM free but the company felt it was right to officially announce that the digital premium edition will also be without any DRM. So, according to a press release from the company, Good Old Games will be the sole DRM-free distributor of the Digital Premium Edition of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. GOG’s copy of The Witcher 2 will not contain any DRM, unlike all other versions of the Digital Premium Edition.

“DRM is not an effective way to combat piracy,” said Managing Director Guillaume Rambourg. “Our main concern has always been the user’s experience with the titles they purchase, and DRM effects that experience in a negative way, which is why we’ve been absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to distribute CD Projekt RED’s incredible RPG. We’re also pleased that we’ve been able to stick to our guns with The Witcher 2 and release it DRM free to all of our customers around the world.”

GOG will also be hosting a live Q&A with CD Projekt RED Senior Producer Tomasz Gop and GOG’s head of marketing & PR Trevor Longino. The Q&A will be on Friday, March 18th, at 19:00 GMT and during the Q&A, Tomasz will be revealing some exclusive “Making of the new Geralt” concept art and discussing the changes in the fighting mechanic from the original game.
