I own the witcher enhanced on Disk.. My disks are fine and all.. But i wonder if you can also put in the code, and get a gog account code for digital.. I ask this as in the past i have had disks scratch, or break or what ever and then i can't install. I was pleasantly surprised to find my CD-keys worked on battle net for the original starcraft, as my disks 15 years down the road looked like i tried to wax a floor with um.. :P

granted these days you don't have to re install so often because of space, or even need to put the disk in the drive to play which was a big part of it.. But i have to wonder, can i get a digital key with my hard disks? if so, how does one go about doing so?



PS, that free copy of witcher II, can you gift it if you already own a gog copy? if not.. ill trade ya :P

thanks for the free movie at any rate..

Here you go. As for Witcher 2, yes, you can gift it.

Edit: Ninja'd by seconds.

Reminds me. I need to dig out by boxed copy of Witcher 2 and get an extra gift code if it works that way too.
Erm, I don't want to be a killjoy, but I don't think that the code on the boxes was meant to be gifted. It should be only a digital backup of your physical game. I doubt any other use would be legit...

There was a post (by TET I think) that encouraged people that already own The Witcher 2 on GOG to gift their extra code from redeeming a physical version. I can go digging if you want me to.

There is no need, I believe you. That said, I think this is kind of weird, business-wise... you basically own two copies for the price of one when bying physical? O_o
Anyway, it is not the first time GOG encourages something like that!

+1, although OP might be a borderline case (not legally, but morally) seeing that he said "can you gift it if you already own a gog copy?" He has two licenses (one of his boxed copy and one from the copy he already owns on GOG), so he should be (again: morally!) allowed to give one of them away (by giving away his boxed key). Especially since GOG is currently giving away The Witcher 2 for free.

But you're right. I don't think the keys were meant for gifting (and personally, I wouldn't do it).

edit: didn't see JMich's post oO

I think he was probably referring to the "stamp prize". That is indeed fine to gift, as the GOG staff stated in the Fall promo thread.

After reading it again: I think you're right. The Witcher 2 part was about the stamp-thing...
woot,, thanks a bunch guys!

Someone's not up to date on their info about the first two The Witcher titles. ;-P
Free backup copy? O.o
Looks like I missed this somehow. Can someone please explain how one can find aforementioned link? There is nothing on games' pages, on the main page, in the account... In website FAQ too.
