I would kindly ask our fans no to buy via GMG at this time. We had not sold them Keys and dont know the origin of them.
Yeah now it's an actual business development person not just some loose PR cannon.
I hope this turns out to just be some misunderstanding or a error on GMG because i buy a lot of shit through them :-/Yikes. Always thought GMG was on the up and up.
Now that I think of it, has there been any previous reports of GMG getting unsourced keys? This is the first time I can recall it happening with them, or at least them being called out on it.

The Gamespot dude's capabilities as a writer is completely irrelevant to CD Projekt's statement regarding GMG copies of the Witcher 3.
GMG will probably catch wind of this and reply at some point... though I think no response would be a great deal more telling.
Easiest way to find evident for those keys: CDPR buy a cooy from GMG, they check the provenience batch, they contact the owner of that key questioning him about. This should be easy.
GMG is a pretty popular digital retailer. To suggest they materialized thousands of keys out of thin air or somehow acquired them from retail or nvidias promotions seems a little unrealistic

I don't understand why everyone doubt CD Projekt - the developer and generator of keys - and their ability to tell which keys went where. If they sent no keys to GMG, then clearly GMG is sourcing them from some legitimate source, which means that CD Projekt is seeing no revenue at all from GMG's stock. It would mean that GMG is either using regional resellers, or selling stolen goods. (Probably the former)

Yeah, GOG have always had a problem with professionalism. I remember their fake shutdown a few years back really pissing off a lot of people (myself included).
No accusations should be made until it's confirmed whether any foul play is going on.
It's pretty likely GMG doesn't have any keys at this point, they generally play a waiting game with publishers to get the keys they sell, which has been a sticking point with impatient GMG customers off and on for years. There have been several times publishers like Ubisoft and Bethesda have waited until the 11th hour to send them their key batches.

Man, lol, I just discover this whole thing originated by a post I did on CDPR forum.
Simply I posted the GMG deal on CDPR forum, since it was very good (and on GOG too).

They wouldn't send keys to sites like GMG in the first place since they are not self publishing there. The publisher would, in this case Namco, just like Gamestop would get them from Warner Bros.

This is an explanation that makes a lot of sense. Still shitty practice if GMG puts up pre-orders for games that they don't have keys for yet, however. Waiting a week extra sucks. But at least they're not stealing keys if that's the situation. Still, it's good that someone with actual pull calls them out on it.

Yeah but it sounds like CDPR is self publishing the game digitally. Namco and WB are only involved in retail distribution.
I still insist that there is nothing wrong with that. Companies want to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to globalization and free trade. Luckily it seems like the EU commission agrees with me on that one (for once).It would mean that GMG is either using regional resellers, or selling stolen goods. (Probably the former)
The keys are likely coming from Namco if it's not coming directly from CDPR.
Is Namco even involved in the PC version? I'd figure CDPR would be able to self-publish on the PC and that Namco would only be needed for console versions.
Why would GOG sell potentially stolen keys from their parent company? :lol. It's Greenman Gaming, not Good Old Games.
http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/action/witcher-3-wild-hunt/I believe CDPR are publishing the game digitally on PC. Namco isn't listed at all on the Steam page for The Witcher 3.
