The Witcher 3 patches cow exploit in the best possible way

We recently reported on a funny exploit in The Witcher 3 where you can amass a huge amount of cash by killing automatically-respawning cows in one particular area of the game. Instead of adjusting the game's economy or changing the cows' respawn rate, CD Projekt RED opted to fix this exploit in the best way possible.

The most recent patch notes include "Deploys the Bovine Defense Force Initiative." What's that? Why, it's a boss monster, a minotaur of sorts, which shows up and wrecks your face if you kill too many of those cows.

I doff my hat to the developers who came up with this hilarious solution!
