CD Projekt RED has announced that it has suspended support for the UWP version of GWENT and has removed it from the Windows Store. Not only that, but those who have purchased that particular version will no longer be able to play it as – according to the publisher- starting today, playing GWENT’s UWP version is no longer possible.
Now the good news here is that you can transfer your UWP version to the GOG version. This basically means all GWENT in-game progress and unlocked content (ore, meteorite powder, vanity items, unopened card kegs and card scraps equivalent of all the cards in your collection) are transferable between the UWP version of the game and the GOG.COM.
CD Projekt RED did not provide the reasons behind the cancellation of the UWP version but those wishing to transfer their UWP version to the GOG version can do so via this link.

Nice.
PC games should be released on all stores (or as many stores as possible) and customers should have the choice to buy it from wherever they want to.
I wouldn’t class UWP titles as true PC games. win32 is PC gaming.
It does not hurt to put it there in addition to all the other stores. The issue arises when developers and publishers try to release store exclusive games.
You’re, perhaps wilfully so, missing the point. Windows 10 Store isn’t merely just another store. It uniquely uses Microsoft’s UWP (in addition to only one Microsoft OS) so it’s a very different proposition to any other store which are all win32 and work with various iterations of Windows and in some cases also Linux.
You’re (rightly) railing against exclusivity and yet you’re the very same guy who posted on numerous occasions of having purchased the console-exclusive Red Dead Redemption 2 and saying you’ll be double dipping if, more likely when, the game eventually comes to PC.
It’s fine to be virtue signalling on the internet but actions speak louder than words. Put your money where your mouth is. As it stands, your proud purchase of said game has contributed toward Rockstar maintaining its stance of treating PC gamers as second class citizens.
I hated that I was basically forced to buy Red Dead Redemption 2 consoles because Rockstar did not offer the game on PC at all. And when it does come to PC I hope they put it on all the stores. I will pick it up on Steam but maybe some crazy person would want to pick it up somewhere else like on the dumpster fire Bethesda Store and everyone’s favorite Microsoft Store.
I’ll pick up my second copy from thepiratebay so I don’t encourage them to flatout ignore pc inquiries for years again in the hopes players like you would buy a console (sweet deal they made with sony) and then a second copy of the game.

the only reason I even have the game, is since sony paid for it with the pro bundle and I was already planning to pick one up next year to grab the backlog of first-party games that are pretty cheap now and the others that would at least have had some sort of discount by then. Since there are about a dozen of those that I was interested in or would be by the end of next year with ones like days gone coming out after the disappointment state of decay is.
and the ripoff the ultimate sod2 is knowing to get the real dlc it’ll still cost extra and shtakostore is an absolute nightmare to deal with and thinks it owns my foxing storage devices it installs anything to like with the time I had to emergency install windows again and couldn’t even delete the foxing folder from inside of windows itself ironically. bow now I’m on a million tangents.
Talking about depressing behaviors.
MemesCauseBrainDamage most definitely has brain damage! ?
Thank You… Win32 is the only way. “If it ain’t am .exe it a ain’t right for me”. ?
1000% this ^^^ , this is what I am going to do and also how I feel as a gamer.
can you imagine someone say, it’s not on UWP so i’m going to pirate it? you’re out of your mind.
I am talking in general.
and UWP is a part of what you said.
I understand what you want to say, and it’s true, but Win Store doesn’t count as a real gaming store, so if a game skips it, that doesn’t matter cause no one will chose an UWP version if it has the choice, UWP only adds exclusive issues and limitations
R**ard
Just read the garbage you’re writing, something may happen and perhaps you’ll elevate yourself to be able to talk with someone like me, re**ard !!
Exactly. It seems whenever a game is moved exclusively to a separate store (e.g. RAGE 2), people dismiss it as giving consumers a choice. Since when was being given only ONE option a choice?!?
I’m surprised CDPR ever supported that travesty. It’s the most anti consumer “store” out there.
Microsoft false promises and money.
Nice to see some good news for a change.
You sound mad? Please do it!
You got me bud. I”m suicidal. Nice to hear from a psychologist. Thanks for reaching out. Means a lot.
Ladies first. After you.
No PC Gamer in their right mind wants a game to release exclusively on any store other than maybe Steam, but I would rather have all games release on all platforms simultaneously so that we have the ultimate choice to support whichever store gives us the best deals and service. Right now for the majority of PC gamers it is Steam and for good reason. Valve never gave up on the PC platform for gaming. All these Publishers (Activision, Bethesda, EA, Epic, Microsoft, Rockstar, Ubisoft etc) have had one point had doubts about the PC as a viable gaming platform. And Valve single-handedly saved PC gaming and made it the biggest gaming platform in the world. Now that PC gaming is a lucrative business these publishers want in on the pie.
