That might be possible (not sure of account recovery with an issue like that). Do keep in mind that they don't respond on weekends. Whenever I've dealt with them, just a day or two. Granted, it might take longer or shorter. Remember they are on Pacific time (not sure what timezone you're in) so it might be later in the day for you when they respond.

Thank you.
CC info is sufficient (type, full name, expiry date, and the last four digits). When you do get your account back, don't forget to update the e-mail address.
Minor stuff? all the FREE updates for this game is more than 100 usd of EA or Activision updates
New quests, new characters, new graphics, new places, refined gameplay, new modes, new videos, no drm...¿for the GOTY of 2011?...CD Projekt is great!! the game deserve be full price
I'm not saying that it doesn't deserve the boost.

I had a similar thing happen where my email address got hacked so I just closed it down. I didn't contact Steam first 'cause I didn't think about it. In order to change your email, they send you an email to the old address. So yeah, I just sent a message to them explaning what happened and thay switched it to my new address. I think they asked for my full physical address or some such shit. Wasn't a big deal at all.
Luckily I could still play my games since their support can be slow as fuck sometimes.
And that's why the price actually went up for the FREE update... The Witcher 2 was 40$ (normal price) but now the Enhanced Edition (which is just the 40$ game + Free update) is 50$.... Then they promote it with a fancy 15% off like it's an amazing deal but that brings down the price to 43$.... Talk about rip-off...
Note that I'm not saying that the game is not worth 40$, the game is amazing, but wtf. That's some EA/Activision level bullshit.

Maybe you typo'd but the standard price is $50.
Right, it's 50$, I'll edit my post... The point still stands tho.
What are you talking about.

It's still 49.99 like it always was.
What was your point? The game was 49.99$ at launch. It was just updated to the EE edition. It's still 49.99$ with a 15% discount.
It's a new edition of the game. When EA/Activision releases a GOTY/Gold/Whatever edition with DLC included it costs more than the current MSRP of the base edition. The difference is that they don't give existing owners access to the new content for free.
It was 39.95$ for AT LEAST a month until the day the EE came out when they bumped it to 50$.
Could be directly related to Namco Bandai too, given their lawsuit resulted in them needing to enforce certain prices for Witcher 2 on GOG via Geolocation. Plus it might be necessary to not make the 360 look like a "bad value" and get ignored (or at least irritate Microsoft/WB).
I think CD Project has earned a little slack. They brought over the updates for existing owners free of charge and are giving away free backup copies on GOG. Can't fault them for wanting a little extra for their effort. CD Project is a company whose games are worth full prices not only because they are damn good, but because they treat the buyers well. TW2 is one game no one should ever bitch about as a rip off. Its just absurd.
Exactly this.

Did people not expect the price to go back up to full retail? 'Cause I certainly knew it would.
They told everyone they'd get the update for free, and we all did. They never said the enhanced edition wouldn't cost $50 after that. There is nothing here to bitch about, at all.
Pretty much. I'll take out my pitchfork for stuff that actually matters.

I saw the EE at Fry's last week for $30, not on sale, the sticker price. It's also 30 at Amazon, which doesn't seem to be a discount.
I'm playing through Rage with a mate at the moment and he's enjoying it, too. This is the first time I've played the game with the detailed textures patch -- it makes quite an improvement, though I do get a little pop-in on the odd occasion (nothing bothersome, though, and the game did warn me that my dual-core PC wouldn't be up to the task). Rage's X360 controller support is great, but without auto-aim it's a huge step down from the keyboard and mouse; in fact, I had to knock down the difficulty from Hard to Normal.
I'd like to know if id are still planning on releasing further DLC. Given it's been over six months since the game's release, the answer to that question is either "nope" or "creating a third hub takes time".

I remember you just coming in tons of threads begging for a sale on 2 all the time. If you can wait that long for a price you "agree with" then you can wait till summer. You missed out. Stop bitching.

Just got the game a few days ago, it is seriously fucking awesome when you get the right songs going, lights off, and spearkers cranked. I want to play in in a theater. I was curious about the DLC. Guess I'll be buying that.
EE is $41 on amazon, normal is $30. I'm sure once the normal is gone, it's gone for good obviously. So, there you go. Anyone bitching, buy the normal version for 30 bucks from amazon, put the key into GoG, boom. You have a digital version of the enhanced edition forever.

It's also $30 on fry's website for the normal version, and $50 for the enhanced.

Yep. And use the internet radio options sometimes, 'cause you'll hear songs you woudln't usually listen to and discover some cools ones to play. Fireflies by Owl City and We Belong by Pat Benatar were awesome to play, and I certainly would have never picked those myself.
You can get it in the Be Mine Bundle 2 for $4 min and get some other games aswell. I really only bought the Be Mine Bundle to double dip to the PC version of this.
It adds so much though.
Just all the new perks makes it worth. I got both the PC and iOS versions and i love the game.

Oh I didn't know the enhanced had new box art. Weird, the one I saw for $30 at Fry's was the old non-enhanced box art, but had a sticker on it saying Enhanced Edition.

Are you sure about that? I got the game through the Be Mine budle and did not get the DLC as far as I can tell.
Makes sense, since the patch will always be free. The only reason to buy the new version is if you want the art for some reason, or if you don't want to download the patch I suppose. But, I'm sure they're obviously not producing the old version any more. So once it's gone, no more cheap witcher 2, until the price drops in a month or two.
It just got added 2 days ago when they reached 25000 'meals'. Check your download page again.

To those who bought Blades of Time Limited Edition, do you have the Dismal Swamp DLC? On the DLC tab I only have Extended Edition and I can't find the DLC in-game. When I go to the DLC store page it doesn't say I already own it like it says on the game page. Also, on my account subscriptions and purchases page states it says I bought Blades of Time Limited Edition DLC, is it the same for you?
Tried to find out, but none of my friends on Steam has got this game. Are you sure you bought the Limited Edition? Both versions got the same price.
Can you actually see if you've got all those extras mentioned in the description (ost, wallpapers, pdf)?
Official or unofficial?
A quick google search only gave me ' There is no plans for a texture pack ' talk.

Yep, got them all. And I'm quite OCD when making any kind of purchase so I check and recheck my selections before committing. I know I bought the Limited Edition.
Also, found out in the meantime I'm not the only one. There's a thread on the Steam forums with people having the same problem. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2662359
The value of the game went up significantly. People that already purchased are being rewarded for good customers. For people waiting: They still pay their money's worth.
Just bought it as a gift for a friend. Still got it in my inventory and it says on it that it includes two items: game and dlc. Not sure what will happen when he adds it to his account though.
W2 was already a great game and now it's even better. And you get a DRM-Free backup copy. And one of the best (if not the best) customer service ever.

So you're paying more... because they added more value?
That's some great free DLC right there. Doesn't sound very free to me.

I'm not paying more, I already bought it. For those who didn't, they get a significantly improved product.
