Concerns voiced by fans have caused CD Projekt Red, the developer of The Witcher 2, to drastically alter the method with which it had been going after those whom allegedly pirated its games.
It was reported in December that a law firm was contacting those suspected of pirating CD Projekt’s games and demanding they either fork over money for a settlement or be faced with a lawsuit. A statement from the company claimed, “We can assure you that we only take legal actions against users who we are 100 percent sure have downloaded our game illegally.” However, it provided no evidence of it being able to prove such a thing, leading to concerns that legitimate gamers could be targeted.
