You go, girl!
Despite some hiccups with bugs and other nitpicks,The Witcher 3has been a rousing success for developer CD Projekt Red. It has even, thus far, managed to largely avoid the several weeks later scathing takes that often pour in after the initial,gushing reviewsof blockbuster games. Remember whenDragon Age: Inqusitionwas a 9/10, 10/10 across the board followed by weeks of, “okay, well, in hindsight, maybe it’s notthatgood.”
CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwiński delivered a heartfelt letter to fans today, thanking everyone for adding to a total of 4 million sales inWitcher 3‘s first two weeks.
“Four million RPG fans spending their hard-earned money on our game is a sign that we did something right, and you can be sure that we’ll harness all that positive energy and make the upcoming expansions worthy of the grand adventure that you’re telling usWild Huntalready is.”
For context,Skyrimmoved 7 million in one week, butWitcher 2only sold 1.7 million in its first year and the series’ total sales (including the first’sEnhanced Editionand the 360 port ofWitcher 2) were at 6 million in late 2013. So it’s a big step up for the relatively small Polish developer.
