CD Projekt Red's undoubtedly been clever with its post-release strategy for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The already gigantic role-playing game now features 16 slices of downloadable content that are all available for free on the PlayStation Store. Not only have these add-ons kept the title in the news for months after launch, but they've also garnered consistent goodwill from players.

There's more of that praise to come, though, because studio co-founder Marcin Iwiński has stated that he'd like to see free DLC become the norm. "I would really like to see such initiatives become an industry standard rather than an exception to the general rule, and I hope that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has set a good example," he posted on the game's official website.

For what it's worth, we reckon that Geralt's adventure has indeed set a good example; it's a complete release that's kept us coming back for more time and time again, and the free bits and pieces have helped keep us interested. Of course, the title still has two lengthy, premium expansions waiting in the wings, but it's obviously too early to bring them into the equation.
