    Courtesy of GMG. Redeems on Steam for extra awesomeness. Use voucher code; BATMAN-ARKHAM-SAVE40 at the checkout. Means you can pre-purhcase for just £21 ($32)!!!

    I chose not to pre-purchase The Witcher 3 and got burned by the colossal price hike post-launch to £50. I will not repeat that same mistake twice. Rocksteady is a developer I can trust. I'm not paying £50 again.

    I did buy TW3 from GMG but regret not getting the Steam version. GOG Galaxy just can't compare to Steam yet.

    £21 for a top-tier AAA game in 2015 is amazing value! Helped by the very reasonable RRP of £35. It's nice to see Warner Bros. setting fair regional pricing for the UK. It's extremely rare these days.

    Clients offer the easiest and most convenient ways to keep my games neatly organised, automatically updated and with online save backups. The DRM I can live without!

    In an ideal world I'd like to see a return to how it worked before, with TW and TW2 being redeemable on GOG. Best of both worlds; Steam key and a DRM-free version for safe backup. I miss that.
