Should have been a PS3 exclusive.

Oh Carl, you never change. What's next you going to tell me that we should put the dance games exclusively on the PC!

Edit: By the way, I would be considered one of those who "pirated" the game earlier than release (didn't really work out that well, but I basically wanted to get a head start). I also bought the game on day one. Hell of a thing piracy.

Don't be so silly. PC gaming should only be MMO, RTS and Sims. Dance genre belongs in the arcades.

True WRPGs belong to PC!

And CD Project boss is right about DRM, it just pisses honest users off.

I guess that also helped in the decision to simply remove the drm and provide the dlc for free.

iirc I read somewhere that the only reason they put the DRM there in the first place was to appease their publisher. They did the same thing with the first Witcher. Release the game with little DRM then patch it out completely later
