Hello everyone!

As part of our ongoing efforts to modernize the GOG store and improve your experience, we’ve decided to retire the GWENT Shop on our website (formerly at https://www.gog.com/gwent-shop), which also affects access to it via GOG GALAXY.

But don’t worry—the optional purchases that were available there are staying, it’s only a change of where you find them.

You can find some of them on the GWENT product page in the store under the "DLCs" section or in the “Additional Content” section on GWENT’s GOG GALAXY game view. Additionally, all in-game purchases within GWENT remain unchanged and fully supported.

This small change comes down to efficiency: only a tiny fraction of players used the web-based GWENT Shop. By retiring it, we can better focus our resources on enhancing other areas of the platform.

Thank you for your understanding and happy gaming!

First, thanks for your work on the forum/with the GOG community.

Second, and it can be considered a rhetorical question: why was GOG focusing on (what I understand is) a microtransaction webshop for an online-only game, rather than DRM-free offline installers?

I'd call this a conflict of interests. GOG sells DRM-free games. CD Projekt Red, the developer of Gwent, wanted their share of the market for online games and micro-transactions. GOG and CDPR are sister companies under the umbrella of CD Projekt, so there are certain obligations and expectations to meet. TLDR: GOG probably just can't say "no" to anything that CDPR does.
