Because of all these things mentioned, and my huge appreciation for what these guys have done, and the risk they took making a really good (not to mention DRM free-DLC free) game I'd like to support them as much as possible
So I thought I should download it from GOG which is (as I understand) CD PRojekt's company, in order for my money to go directly to them instead of distribution companies and such
But here's the strange thing:
Downloadable game costs 50 euros
While the Dvd version costs 35 euros!
Why would the same game without printing and distribution cost more? This seems very strange to me and I'm not sure I wanna fork over the extra 15 euros...

Hi Balderduck! I haven't bought the game (I'm only now trying ouy The Witcher1), but from what I know, the GOG version being sold is not the same as the retail Premium Edition (I'm assuming you are refering to this one, since the price of it in Amazon is near 30€).
The GOG version is a Digital Premium edition and I would say it's basically the retail premimum equivalent (in digital format), plus all of the contents of the Collectors Edition that can be digitalised (plus some extra content exclusive to GOG).
Regarding the 50€ price, that seems to be a legal obligation they had to assume. To compensate EU users for that, they are giving 2 codes (9$99 + 5$99) to use for buying 2 games in the store (if this doesn't please you, well, let's just say that there are ways, in some degree sanctioned by the GOG team, that let's you circunvent this problem, if you check their forum you will know more).
