The Witcher 2 Leaked Online

Than hating on / quoting Indzman ...

Be wise and think do you want to enjoy games or go on fighting on and on on Sysyem Wars ? .

Be a smart gamer , 've a Gaming P.C , buy your choicest consoles , 've fun playing them than wasting time on system wars or feeling bad about console games not releasing on PC .

console development increasing is nothing to do with piracy, 3 or 2 consoles vs 1 pc platform = twice or three times the sales, simple.

theres just as much piracy on consoles as their is on pc, if not more.

it's just that there are multiple console platforms so it doesn't hit the sales as much.

PC gaming is long dead , most PC gamers who can afford consoles've turned console gamers and enjoying exclusive console titles , some remaining and new PC gamers loving and defending PC ( in course of time they'll also turn to consoles in the long run seeiing major titles releasing for consoles , PC hardware getting obsolete every year , freinds enjoying on consoles ) .

Console gaming is the future and wisest decision for gamers .

To enjoy gaming , console is the way .

To enjoy gaming , PC is the way PC allows gaming with any controller, on any screen, through Steam, where you can save thousands on gaming. Its got mods that turn crap games into great ones, and make great games into awesome ones. I love how you even mentioned the thing about hardware, console hardware is absolute trash compared to even the PC hardware that came out the same year as the 360 or PS3. By now, PCs could do graphics 4 or 5 times better if they were not held back by consoles.

I actually feel sorry for all you're missing.

Anyway, I am presently DLing The Witcher 2 from GOG and am impatient to try it out! I'm gonna have to put aside going through my backlog of awesome games on Steam, but, hey, know what? PC gaming is dying they say, so maybe one day I'll finally manage to test what a drought of games feels like he he.

There's something reassuring about knowing that any negative news regarding something on PC will ultimately turn into a declaration of PC gaming's death, followed by an equally passionate defense of PC gaming's virtues.

Anyway, any leak no matter the system is a shame. The Witcher 2 is no doubt a great game from a great developer, but I don't consider piracy any more "acceptable" for an Ubisoft or Capcom product either (which is the vibe/implication I get from some of these articles).

Do PC gamers care? Forget generosity. It's going to be pirated to hell and back. Even though I am buying it on PC, I say bring on the Console version. If there were a PS3 or 360 version I would've bought it on either of those first. Though I think this pretty much ensures a Console version at some point.

Strange... I used to play consoles, now I mostly only play PC games...

Well I beleive any company wants to make more money, so bringing the game to console only makes sense.

But, that has nothing to do with pirating the game... Because games are just as pirated before they are release on console too.

True, games are pirated on consoles as well. Though not even 1/8 of what is pirated on PC. You do not have games getting pirated 4 million times on a Console. Most of these games sell better on Consoles because of the fact that pirating is rare when compared to PC pirating. But, yes, Console games are pirated as well. It's just a shame CDProjekt is going to lose money like this. I'm actually picking up Witcher 2 next week, it looks great.

Probably less pirated, yes. But don't just put numbers in the air lollll 1/8? And what's the game that got pirated 4 million times, I bet it's a COD game?

Crysis 1 was pirated around 4 million times as well on PC back when it came out. CoD we all know about. Yea, the 1/8 was just the first fraction that came to mind. :P Just more or less trying to display a point.

Within that same two month period the Xbox 360 version of Black Ops and MW2 was pirated 930,000 and 970,000 times, respectively. So it's really closer to "one-fourth" rather than "one-eighth".

The frustrating thing about PC piracy is just that popular games are usually pirated well in excess of sales numbers. Whereas with consoles, sales numbers usually well exceed the number of pirated copies.

You guys get my money not only for making an epic game but for not have DRM. Thanks, CD projeckt's you guys are the new Bioware.Fightingfan

oh god, does this mean they took out missions of the game and will resell them for $15 each at launch? :o

I hate the COD example since they pissed the PC community badly. It's like taking the worst example out of PC negative part and making it like it was representatif of the whole PC gaming.

But it's not an excuse, it's too bad. Either the game gets pirated on PC or consoles... it's a shame.

But then look at the sales of MW2 and Black Ops on the 360. Each sold well over 7 million on 360 alone. That's not even looking at PS3 sales. That's my point. Compared to sales of these games on Consoles, the piracy is there, but it's nothing compared to what's sold. Those are also 2 of the highest selling games on any platform as well as probably the biggest amount of any game pirated on a Console in a long time. Games on Consoles don't typically get pirated in the hundred thousands.

There goes The Witcher 2's P.C market :( . PC pirates've no loyalty towards The Witcher 2 . CD Projekt better hurry with console release of The Witcher 2 ( Money , Fame awaits in console market ) :)

Crytek learnt it the hard way lol .

indzman

Do you realize that every game leak early the same goes for console games.

Also dose crysis 2 on consoles sold more than crysis 1 and warhead? I don't think so.

http://uk.gamespot.com/forums/topic/27545090 (Crysis sold 3+ million, Warhead 1.5+ million copies until May 2010)

and Witcher 2 probably will not came to consoles and if it cam it will be the version not worth to play( I mean 1280x720, 25-30fps, low setting, controller, etc)
