    I agree with Ahmad - pretty awesome that they would consider the game good enough to give it to a president, pretty gosh-darn disrespectful that they think the President has the time to play an RPG or that it is appropriate to give it to a head of state. 
     
    Then again, it's about as disrespectful as Obama's "gift" of a box set of US-film DVDs to Gordon Brown. Brown gave Obama an extremely valuable gift made out of the wood of one of the most respected British 19th Century Anti-Slavery Ships, the HMS Gannet. Obama gave him DVDs he can't even watch in the UK due to the fact that he didn't have a region 1 DVD player.  
     
    Now, I like Obama, quite a lot. He's doing a fair (not very good, but not a bad) job as President. But that gift sucked. You don't give a Visiting head of state a box of DVDs, especially not in front of news cameras. Well now he's been given a computer game that he will never play. Maybe his kids will like it - they're about the right age to start playing video games, right?

    Well it's a bit on the fun side, however, is it really something you'd give a president? 
    Yes, yes it is. Although I'm not from Poland, I understand that The Witcher is quite important there, so... I definitely approve of this. Would it be any different if he would be given a book? No, but somehow media will still want to tear it apart because it's a video game.
     he also got an iPad loaded with Polish movies and some translated novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of The Witcher,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all presidents leave the things they get as gifts in the White House after their term is over?

    It's not bad gift in my opinion. Especialy that Obama said he is part Polish just because he used to live in Chicago. Plus its get much needed publicity for our own industry.

    I don't see how this is disrespectful, if you seriously think that, then you're basically saying that games are crap compared to other forms of media and so on. I think it's the same as the irish who always present Guiness and brits who might give a Beatles record or something. You give a unique and interesting export of your country.

    You'd think Obama'd already have an iPad... Sounds like they had no clue what to give him. Shouldn't they had given him a sausage or something?

    Don't think it's a bad thing. I remember the president noting that he was one of those waiting for Portal 2.
     
    An interesting gesture though.

    Aren't the Polish immensely proud of The Witcher? Makes sense to me.

    It might be a more app gift than many think since Obama is an avid collector of Conan comics and has collected them since he was a kid (and apparently still does).  He seems to like low fantasy.   According to one website, he is even a fan of Portal, so perhaps he does have a computer that could run it...

    Seems to me like the President should have the best PC in the country. Comes with the job.

    As far as I know, gifts from foreign dignitaries and the like are not actually used they are kept in a vault somewhere.

    Obama sure is taking his sweet time reviewing this game, maybe he's waiting for 2.0?
