*SPOILER WARNING: WITCHER 3 - DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING IN THE GAME BEFORE YOU PLAY*

A book found in the Witcher 3:

The Defensive Regulatory Magicon (or DRM for short) belongs to the above-mentioned group of the longest-lasting, most effective and hardest to break defensive mechanisms. In order to recognize the individual administering it, it makes use of a portal mounted at the entrance of the area it is to defend. This portal passes streams of magical energy through the body of the person entering and can, in the blink of an eye, determine if this person has the corporeal signature (eyeball structure included) of the entitled administrator. As a result, the only unauthorized individuals that can possibly hope to enter are mimics.

DRM thus makes for an extremely effective and near-unbreakable security measure - but you are in luck, for you hold in your hands the key to bypassing it, namely the present tome, Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimore, or GOG for short. In the pages to follow you will find innumerable methods for deactivating DRM, or, even better, bypassing it altogether (…)

It was a very nice touch for sure... makes other publishers look silly.
Spoiler warnings would be very much appreciated! Not everyone can play TW3 yet.

Ha! Gold.
Magic. I hope that the person who had the idea gets recognition for it. Or, even better, he just snuck that into the game.

Cute... I like how it's written so it actually fits the setting and doesn't break the fourth wall.

I don't see how this disses DRM. What it implies is basically: DRM is good way to defend your stuff, but if someone wants to take that illegally, GOG will help. Which is even worse than what DRM-loving publishers say.
CDPR and GOG just released a new form of DRM. Dangerously Ruining Machine that is enabled by default on retail and digital copies of Witcher 3. This new game can't be played by just any weak rig hence you need to buy expensive equipment. Thus preventing its rampant piracy. No other game to date has this new kind of DRM.

Even seasoned pirates are being ignored outright because of this DRM.

No, it's making fun of publishers who believe it's a good way to defend their stuff... when it does nothing of the sort, so GOG has you covered. CDPR does not think DRM is a good way to defend your stuff, this is clear in any interview they have done regarding DRM.

I really didn't think an in-game book that reveals nothing about the actual game needed a spoiler warning..

Well, it's an OOC in game joke (which makes it an "Easter egg" really). So it can probably count as a spoiler if you didn't play the game yet.
