About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
My first deal, please be gentle. You're going to need a few things first, gog account, hola and a paypal account. After that, set your hola browser to Ukraine and visit gog, add Witcher 3 to your basket, sign in to your gog account. Pick PayPal as your payment method. Turn off hola and sign in to your paypal account and purchase. You'll get an email confirming order and pre-order bonuses. Job done. The same method will get you the expansion for $14.99, which is £9.83.

sorted byI do this for EA games because they are **** but I have too much respect for cd project red to rip them off.
There is no code, after the game is released you can download from GOG the installer which is DRM free or install their application. Many of us have decided to preorder it at the full price to support CDP and what they stand for.

Don't worry i'll pirate it.
If you want the industry to change, support the good guys, if you don't want to pay full price for the game have a bit of patience and wait a month or two after release it'll be discounted pretty rapidly anyway.
And don't give me the game value argument, how much do you pay to goto the cinema or for a meal? cinema gives you 2 hours entertainment, a meal gives you what? 30 mins? this game will give you many hours of enjoyment yet you think 10 quid is reasonable? for all that work and all the value? Priorities.
Have some integrity for a change, besides this is clearly an exploit and not a "deal" and if your GOG accounts are closed you have only yourselves to blame.
Sorry, but if £20ish is a tipping point for your household budget, you probably shouldn't be having kids. Unless you expect us taxpayers to help you out?
Enjoy sex scenes with hairy men then.
Exactly... Developers can't win. Release an honest game with no DRM at reasonable price? Consumers find exploit to get it cheaper.
Get sick of PC gamers and put less effort into your game? Game will get pirated the crap out of.
For all this 'PC master race' stuff, community sucks.

Who is screwing who over? It's not developers who promote DRM or set different prices in different regions, it's game publishers. The developer probably gets paid the same cut no matter if the game was sold at £41.49 in the UK or $15.79 in UA. If game publishers were to sell games at what they are worth and not fix prices based on what each regional market will pay, we'd have a fairer system.

Just a tip for anyone that is still struggling to get hola working even when set to Ukraine. Make sure your previous website is not google.co.uk before going to gog.com.
Change it to yahoo.com which is a generic site then it should work.
Why is this deal not legitimate? Artificially inflating the prices for DRM free downloads for wealthier countries is far worse IMO. I had this pre-ordered with cdkeys.com but have just purchased with GOG for half the price and will be cancelling with cdkeys.
So if it was EA or Ubisoft it'd be OK?
GOG is owned by CD Projekt......
1) GOG.com is part of the CD Projekt company, which owns the developer and the publisher of the Witcher game series. That means that all profits come back to the rightful company if you buy anything from GOG, whether it's via their UK or Ukrainian website.
2) Good Old Games has always promoted a "Fair Price Package" policy, meaning that they would compensate people from outside the NA zone if the prices in the EU/UK were higher, by giving the difference back in store credit. Somehow this seems to now omit CIS countries, which is kind of odd and might seem unfair to some people.
This is more of an equivalent of Amazon registering their EU branch in Luxembourg to avoid paying taxes.
PS also, I bet this "deal" will convince quite a few people to pre-order the game, who were on the fence about it, and will make sure they don't wait until the Steam sales, where 30% of the revenue goes to Valve and not the developer.
PS2 people who are buying Steam keys from non-authorised sellers (like CDKeys) are often hurting the developer even more, as a lot of these keys come from questionable sources, like credit card fraud, theft or poor markets, plus any legitimate Steam key sold will have Steam's margin put on top of it, meaning less money towards the developer, regardless of the price.

They would usually be the first to get all updates, as their version is DRM-free and published by the company that owns the developer studio.

Delete your cookies, close the tab. Re-open a new one, go to gog.com, make sure Ukraine is selected from the proxy list. You may need to clear your cookies more than once before the proxy kicks in when connecting to the website and the prices are set.
It's not a grey key, you're buying it directly from the game's publisher.
Yeah. You can install it and then come midnight on launch day, you download the small remaining piece and you are good to go.
MSI Afterburner does a hell of a lot more than FRAPS. No point using FRAPS to be honest.
I tried it but it still loads the page in £
The gog site uses the cookies you got when you visited it the first time.
Yep it does. Cheers mate
