We remember it as if it were yesterday: it was on June 21, 2019 that the Switch version of The Witcher 3 was released as a complete edition including all of the two solo expansions and bonuses released on other platforms. Despite a rather violent visual downgrade, the title managed to run properly on Nintendo’s hybrid console. Almost two years later, the game is talking about it again, as CD Projekt Red and Nintendo have agreed to remove the full version from the eShop. Don’t panic, the game will still be available for sale but everything will be separate, in order to “offer everyone more flexibility”. No need to leave Saint-Cyr to understand above all that this is a commercial approach since if the Complete Edition version is sold € 59.99, by purchasing the whole separately, there is a small gain of € 10, since the total bill now amounts to € 69.97.
The Polish studio was immediately criticized by Internet users who reacted vigorously, but CD Projek Red’s response was kind, specifying that it will be possible to obtain the full set at the same price as before, since ‘a presentation of all the products will be made shortly. The developers want to reassure players that anyone who already owns The Witcher 3 Complete Edition will see the game and its DLCs displayed for free on the eShop, a story that no one buys the same thing twice. inadvertently.
