This is how a game developer should be. Such developers motivate people into actually buying their games rather than downloading them illegally.
Since I received a free upgrade, I was happy enough to have bought the Enhanced Edition of the first Witcher which is on sale on their site (I actually own a Retail US version of that game, which doesn't have all the goodies and is censored).
So a big thumbs up to CD Projekt! May companies like EA, UbiSoft learn from this as investing millions into copy protection is going to do nothing but just motivate people into piracy.
True, but I feel very, very sorry for people with below-average download speed.
First, you need to download 10gb, then an additional 400mb to replace the broken parts as described on the witcher site (and on the first page of this topic, kudos+!)
It took me about 1 hour, but someone is a country far, far away... 😵
Also, a fresh install would mean that you have to download all the patches again, so it would come close, if not over, 20gb. EGADS!

I agree with you there. But the thing is, you get your backup copy stored on the cloud (GOG.com), so you don't need to worry about damaged discs. And once the game is downloaded (Which is about 14.99 GB), you can directly write it on a DVD and forget about it, unless you plan on installing future updates.
The great thing about GOG.com games is that they haven't made it mandatory for a third-party program to run so you can play the game (Like you do in STEAM/Origin). This is what I want to hear. So you can actually install and play the game on a computer that has no internet connection.
