The Witcher: Enhanced Edition FREE

"As of this morning, I am happy to announce that Ars and GOG are entering into a partnership—which means there are some cool things that are about to happen. The first of those cool things is that we're giving away a few hundred thousand copies of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition."

Very Cool. I never played The Witcher because it's not my style, but I hear it's good.

That's pretty cool even though I own the game and usually goes for extremely cheap anyway

thanks. would be nice if witcher had linux support

never deny a free GOG game though

There was a whole bunch of stuff going on around it, but as of yet nothing from CDPR.

Witcher 1 run pretty well under wine/Play on Linux but CDPR are never going to spend energy to port that.
Witcher 2 does run on Linux.

Whoa there! This is proving, uh, a lot more popular than we projected. We're pausing for about twenty minutes to fortify ourselves and grab more codes. Check back at around 11:15 EDT today for the giveaway to resume.

strange. i got a code without a ARS account.

I bugged my way through without signing up :slight_smile:

Me too, it was just a JS snip that grabbed keys from an API and used IP + cookie + browser printing to check

They should fix that :slight_smile:

I assume they added the requirement for an account to stop bots from grabbing the codes for sale when the giveaway is over.
I hope it resumes I got the code while outside, but the it didn't work, or it generated wrong/I copies it wrong.
EDIT: Ho boy, ars chewed off more than they can chew. You need an account, but their server can't handle even logging in right now.
EDIT2: Aaaand it's gone.

Yup ! Hilarious..... A tech news site that cannot Tech.

I'm either blind and/or retarded, but I don't see a link to claim the game...?

Click the orange button.

Apparently the servers are on fire atm so you can't log in/register.

Will not get you very far :slight_smile:
