Thanks for digging that up 
Well, sure they are having issues now but to be honest. Why would I want the money to go to Valve or Epic, when I can buy it somewhere so 100% goes to the developers? I mean, if they messed it up enough I can always get a refund. But if I decide to purchase the game, I would always use the option where the developer gets the most of it. (If this option is convenient enough for my taste.)

I bought this game for my brother literally two seconds after he had already bought it himself, and honestly, at the moment I’m kind of glad that he returned the copy I bought him. It’s nowhere near as bad as when I bought myself No Man’s Sky on launch, and it doesn’t seem to be on the same planet as the Fallout 76 debacle, but I knew from the get-go, especially given how many times CDP delayed this game that it was never going to live up to the hype on Day 1.
We’ll be running it on a couple systems, one a Ryzen 1600, the other an E5-2680v2, both running 1070s, so we’ll see how it goes. Sure as hell won’t be running at ultra, though.

What’s the problem with this?
It implies that normally money goes somewhere else as well, just weird AF to put that there unless trying to shame or something
Well depending where you buy it yeah.
That would be the same as Valve putting up on Steam that 100% of the sales from Portal go to Valve.
Maybe people are not aware that GOG is owned by CD Projekt, but that would be the only thing odd about how that reads. Its not some sweetheart deal between two separate companies to drive the market under.

just seems weird, do they put that up for other games like what % they take?
No I have never seen that but that’s also typically a contract thing and they tend to not get discussed by either party. So not surprising either.
Currently on my 2nd play through. Played street kid first and now Corpo, and I’m pretty disappointed how both just end up working exactly the same. Wanted to be a power hungry asshole in my second play through, and ended up sorta being forced to play a “F*** the system man!” type character.
Well, this doesn’t have anything to do with the state of game, does it though? Who needs two keys for a game? (Or did I get something wrong?)
Well yes and no. Did I expect CDPR to satisfy each and everyone? Almost certainly not. (I’m looking forward to the release of Star Citizen in this regard 
.) But I also assumed the first delay would increase the quality of the product. The second delay was more questionable, since it hinted at more issues in with the game and in hindsight I think they were quite aware that they won’t be able to fix these issues in time. (Maybe they hoped to fix the most pressing concerns.) But for me, it does live up to the hype.
Currently, I’ve spent 15h in the game and I’ve only encountered one bug. In this bug, an NPC walks through an elevator door without opening it, that’s it. Also, I’m content with the performance of the game. It demands a lot, but from a visual standpoint it is the most stunning game I’ve seen in the recent years and I’m looking forward to enabling psycho mode when I play it for the third time (maybe in 7680x2160 :D) with a ton of ini tweaks.
Am I one of the lucky few? Honestly, I doubt that even though there are certainly issues with that game and there are many who are not so lucky. (If you are playing on an old console, you are basically fucked :-()
Also, I know four people who are playing this game and also don’t experience any issues. Sure, this information is not representative from a statistical standpoint and just hearsay, but still…
As @Zibob has mentioned, Valve takes 30%, while Epic takes less. Don’t know how much though.
Haven’t seen it before, I still think it is a valid information for many users. A friend of mine bought in on GOG for that very reason. (He didn’t know that before I told him.)

Admittedly I didn’t word that right. It was meant to be an early christmas present, but I got ninja’d. And then the reports came out about all the bugs everyone was coming across and I gradually felt better and better about getting ninja’d.

Oops, meant E(nd) o(f) L(ife)… EOF doesn’t make any sense here 
Maybe we will 
@bedHedd Since @catsay posted a detailed explanation why SMT could have been disabled on purpose my link above could just be snake oil. So, further investigation will be required.

end of life is 2023
Ok, thought it happened sooner…ignore my statement then.
In regard to the performance fix I stumbled over the following article:
microsfot did some confusing shit where they started calling launch win 8 as win 8 and win 8 with updates 8.1. they “eof’d” 8 but not 8.1 until 2023 instead of just saying “update your god damn computer please or we wont support you” they went this confusing roundabout way. if you bought/pirated windows 8 and actually updated youre on arbitrary “8.1”

8.1 is just what SP1, SP2, and SP3 were for Win7 and WinXP or what the build numbers in Win10 are. It’s not “roundabout”, just different naming lol.

Yeah this is what I had been hearing and reading too, the SMT genuinely improved performance and not like 5FPS or 5% but pretty sizeable gains.
I definitely want actual real testing, do both bac to back as much as possible and see.
in other news… Ouch.
