chautemoc: Just wondering cause umm I've read interviews with the GOG guys and they say they're against DRM and say great things about The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (original buyers get it free etc)..but that game was made by an affiliate company and has the TAGES copy protection system on it..I know they're separate teams and all, still, seems odd, not that there's any distrust. Anyone from the GOG team have any insight into this?

Good observation. Creators of the Witcher - CDPRed have a publishing deal with Atari and although there were discussions, they did not manage to get a DRM-free version out so far. Still, they are working on it and hopefully in near future there will be a DRM-free version.
We would love to have it on GOG.com one day, but we will have to let it age a bit ;)

Weclock: Went by Circuit City last night, and they didn't have it, if that had I would have picked it up in a second.

Mailorder (like Amazon) or Best Buy would be the best place to get it. I did a pretty thorough store-check last month in the US and Best Buys had the most stock.

Uhh, as far as I know Tages doesn't do anything of the sort with The Witcher. The online download of the Enhanced Edition update actually removes the CD check... so... well... we're doing our best :)

Just a word about TW protection.
It is Tages, but without online activation. So it works as simple copy protection, not really as DRM, which try to authenticate your copy on servers, and trace how many installations you did and on how many computers, for example.
I'd prefer to have it even more simpler. We'll see;)
