[VIDEO] The Witcher 3 Will Tax Players Who Abused Money Exploits

According to new reports, The Witcher 3 will tax players who abused money exploits.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's infinite money exploits that involved pearls and cow hides has already been addressed by the video game developer CD Projekt Red. Now, according to PC Gamer, gamers who took part in controversial money-making tactics are being approached by a tax collector named Walthemor Mitty who wants them to pay up.

The tax man knows everything about a player's undocumented income. Mitty tells the gamer that they have heard reports of Geralt instantly coming into huge sums of money. After that, he proceeds to ask players several questions.

Players can deny any wrongdoing or they can admit to tax evasion and pay a fine. If players deny any wrongdoing, the local tax man will find that the rest of their taxes are in order and grant them a Taxpayer in good standing diploma, Kotaku reported.

The cowhide exploit involved slaughtering cows and gathering their valuable hides. Gamers quickly found that if they mediated for a specific time period, cows spawn back into the world. So, gamers could stock up on cow hides as much as they want and then sell them for a nice sum of money.

The game developer addressed this issue by deploying the terrifying Bovine Defense Force Initiative, which took the form of a powerful monster who kills anyone attempting to cash in.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which cost $81 million to develop, sold 6 million copies in 6 weeks. Reports also suggest that CD Projekt Red is also making more money from the game through Hearts of Stone.
