Idk about that. They are literally saying they will replace gog account system with their own one. Sounds really specific to me.
Comment on CD Projekt Red are splitting from GOG somehow?

To me this sounded like cdpr merging more with gog not the other way round, as in both your accounts are now under one account?

No, GOG was the official store for CDPR (as GOG was created and is owned by CDPR), but now CDPR are splitting off, or something. So, for example, your achievements in games like Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 have been recorded in GOG, but will now be migrated to a separate CDPR service.
So it’s not a merger, but a split, however to my knowledge the ownership structure of CDPR owning GOG will remain the same. It’s just that they want to separate GOG from their own publisher business. What this means for GOG as a storefront seems uncertain - will GOG continue to sell all games, or will it go back to its original purpose of only old games? Will GOG continue to be DRM free? Will future CDPR games include DRM such as Denuvo? Will GOG eventually die off?
