It says you can create a new CDPR account at any time. Could you not do that and then migrate your GOG info over without the email address from GOG?
Just wondering if it had been attempted.
Comment on CD Projekt Red are splitting from GOG somehow?
TWeaK@lemm.ee 11 months agoYes, if one company buys a part of another the data can be legally migrated. The data will also become subject to new the T&C’s and privacy policy, although there must be an opt out before this happens (which they are providing here). This is more of a split I think, as far as I’m aware GOG are still owned by CDPR, it seems like they’re setting up a new division for CDPR games, and maybe GOG is just going to focus on old titles.
For myself, I don’t like this. I use unique emails for everything, and this spoils that setup. I don’t want my GOG email to be anywhere near CDPR, and vice versa. However it seems like my only options are migrate the email to the wrong service, or lose all my online data.
I’m not too bothered if they’re two separate services, beyond whatever that might mean for the continuation of the services. Eg, is GOG going to be worse than it is currently, or is CDPR looking to separate so they can be worse and more like a typical publisher.

Maybe that might be an option, like if I create a CDPR account now and tell them to transfer to that account rather than migrate and then change emails. I’ll give it a go.

Could you migrate the account then change the associated email? It’s not a perfect solution but it should be possible.

Probably, I think I’m going to contacte them and get them to do that, while explicitly stating I object to my email being subject to the new terms and conditions.
