Developer
CD Projekt is getting ready to show off their upcoming fantasy RPG
The Witcher 2 to the assembled at E3 2010 next week. However some fans of the original game have expressed concerns that the title might have some restrictive DRM set-up. An executive from Namco Bandai, which is distributing the game in Europe,
recently stated he supported the "always on" internet style of DRM for PC games.
CD Projekt decided to reveal their own policy concerning DRM
on their message boards. In summary it states, "In our opinion, it is more important to encourage acquisition of original game copies than to punish those who play pirated copies." While there's been no decision on what DRM set-up, if any, will be put to The Witcher 2, CD Projekt's CEO Adam Kiciński stated in an email press release, "As per our policy, we will do our utmost to prevent the adopted DRM solution, if any, from making life difficult for those who acquire legal game copies. I can't imagine using any protection that would deprive game fans of any of the pleasure that will come from playing the game, as has been the case with other notable PC game titles."
