The sword of Destiny has two edges. You are one of them.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the RPG epic with a mature, non-linear story drawn from player's decisions, a vast multi-region open world acting like a living ecosystem, dynamic and tactical combat, and stunning visuals, is now available for pre-orders, up to 20% off*, exclusively on GOG.com! GOG.com is a part of the CD Projekt family, so pre-ordering here also gives you the chance to support us directly!

Gritty and merciless, the world the adventure plays out in sets new standards in terms of size, ecosystem complexity and meaningful non-linearity. Experience realistic day and night cycles, observe weather changes that influence gameplay, and conquer the lush environment using arcane witcher lore. Evolve unique witcher skills to tailor gameplay to your liking; hunt bloodthirsty monsters and develop your signature fighting strategies; use potent battle magic, and slay your way to victory in a truly limitless open world. Stroll, swim, ride and sail; embark on legendary quests and collect epic bounties. Take control: go anywhere, do anything!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a graphically stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. The world burns as the Empire of Nilfgaard pierces through the heart of the kingdoms in the north. Geralt of Rivia is pursued by an enemy devoid of mercy—the Wild Hunt, a mythical cavalcade of ghastly riders, harbingers of doom and destruction, capable of destroying entire settlements overnight. Driven by a deeply personal agenda, Geralt must navigate a maze of hostile forces to find and protect the one described in an ancient prophecy. Pre-order today, and prepare for an RPG experience worthy of the best traditions of the genre, and taking it to a whole new level. On GOG.com The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt comes DRM-Free and packed with bonus content, just as we all like it. Check out the pre-order page for all the details!

*While the base discount rate is 10%, we want to thank the loyal Witcher fans by applying additional 5% discount per game from The Witcher series owned on GOG.com. If you own a retail copy of a Witcher game, that came with a special code for GOG.com backup copy, make sure to redeem it prior to pre-ordering The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to receive the loyality discount!

I think they are rubles.

On GOG.com The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available without any copy protection mechanisms.

chean: It's interesting that they specify no copy protection... I wonder if this means that there may be regional locking, which is a rather different measure. If not, there will surely be a huge trade of gift codes from Russia/any other countries with the ~20$ price.
I doubt they'd do that without a serious reason and even then, I personally would consider it bad, even if I don't really care about it. They need to keep the same GOG quality as ever, even with the Fair Pricing promotion, the whole regional pricing is rather sad for GOG. I really hope it doesn't extend to more games, cause that's still 12 bucks I may not have paid at all and instead waited for a discount. That they're giving it up in gift form is nice enough, obviously, but we're used to more awesome GOG.

Just a general comment on something that popped into my mind when thinking about the W3 pre-order.

I realised that I would instantly dish out $50 for a game package of perhaps lesser quality if offered on Kickstarter, but when an excellent one is offered from one of the best RPG developers currently active, I am not so quick with my wallet.

I am ashamed of it, but it does show the effect that Kickstarter hype and the idea of funding something can have.

npalsensei: You're doing something weird then. My price is in € and it's as other report, and I own both of these, too.

Grargar: Hello there fellow countryman. Seems like GOG's IP locator is broken and it reports my price in $ too.
LOL, lucky you :P Ah well, whatever, I'd rather preorder this twice than the Dark Souls 2 DLC or a Sims expansion. At least I feel the GOG people don't want to rob me horribly, unlike most publishers/devs out there. Yet, anyway.

May be you're right, but how can I change it to USD? Is it possible at all?

You can't for this game, since GOG is using an IP locator tool to offer you a regional price.

I would certainly consider it very bad if they introduce regional locking, but it's pretty well established that regional pricing doesn't really "work" without it -- compensating for the 12 dollars between the US and European prices is one thing, the gap of 40 or so $ between the European and the Russian is on another level. And considering they lied that customers would be given the choice about which currency to pay in, I sadly find it hard to take seriously their claim that W3 will be completely DRM-free.

Well, if they start pulling that, I'm not as retarded as people on Steam, loyalty will be out of the window, I've got no qualms with dropping GOG if it goes that way, but that'd be really sad, it's the only DRM-free platform.

I can't find the message right now, but if memory serves, that was only when buying games that are in the catalogue, but without regional pricing. So for example, you can buy classic games at either the US or local price points.

I've backed your game with a pre-order. Please keep the QTE's/ gaming on a rail to a minimum or better still, leave these game mechanics out of this game. I quit playing TW2 because of those immersion-breaking "features"
Make the game as good as can be and have lots of fun while creating it!

$71.99 AUD with the 20% Loyalty discount and $19.98 refund.
So $79.07 NZD
Still not sure if I'll be throwing my money in, especially since it'll be in AUD rather than NZD.

From Getting Back to Our Roots:
From the very beginning our intention was to make things easier for users whose credit cards/payment systems are not natively in USD. The advantages are simple because the price is more understandable and easier to relate to. There would be no exchange rates involved, no transaction fees, and no other hidden charges. However after reading your comments, we realized we have taken an important element away: the choice. In order to fix this, we'll offer the option of paying in the local currency or the equivalent in USD. This way, how you pay is always your choice.
I can't see any mention that this would only cover the back catalog, but perhaps they intended it as such. Misleadingly worded if so.

Is that for Witcher 3 or the games in general? I mean, Witcher 3 may be a one-time thing (hopefully) that has regional pricing, but the currency choice may apply to everything else. Otherwise... eh... >_>

So do people who already own Neverwinter Nights miss out on this deal? Is there no alternative so everyone can benefit from a free game?

Also, I don't understand how the coupon codes work. If I have two $5.99 codes, does this mean I can purchase as many games as I want as long as they add up to $11? Could I use these codes to buy games on sale?
