This great attitude of not using pirates as an excuse to annoy legit users with pesky DRMs (that won't stop pirates anyway) is, besides obviously making great games, another good reason why not only I don't pirate their games (I buy legal copies also of the other games, although I've sometimes been forced to play pirated copies of games I already legally bought because the regular copy's DRM was doing a bloody mess on my PC) but I'm also ready to buy them at higher prices than others if I got the money, I bought TW1 and 2 as soon as they released the Enhanced Editions, still full-priced and with just that 10-15% discount MediaWorld does on most games when still full-priced.

I haven't pirated a single PC game in years, I think they last time I did might have been in 2008 or around there. CDProjekt are amazing developers and proper good guys of the industry, but this has been largely ignored for the past week in the wake of the visual downgrade that everyone was whining about.

I hope the vast majority of Witcher fans aren't power whores. Many years ago I was mad at MS (it worsened the situation cutting to 64MB the initially planned 128MB main RAM) for multiplat games like Morrowind and Thief III, downgraded also in ways that affected gameplay to fit in XBox limitations, but I think I can forgive a lot more easily some small and purely graphic downgrades due to XBOne, that's probably quite more powerful than my current PC (I'll beat it and PS4 by a not excessive margin with my next upgrade, next year).
