CD PROJEKT and GOG co-founder Michał Kiciński acquires GOG from CD PROJEKT

  Making it independent from CD Projekt is probably a good thing for conflict of interests, but this seems like it will ultimately change very little as it’s moving from ownership by CD Projekt (and a small group of CD Project co-founders) to ‘independence’ from CD Projekt and ownership by a single CD Projekt/GOG co-founder - who remains the second-largest share owner of CD Project. It only cost him ~$23mil USD BTW, which sounds like a bargain to me, considering CD Projekt Red (while owning GOG) is valued around $10bil US between market cap and assets, and GOG’s slow-but-consistent increase in popularity…

    It’s a badly-worded title. Better titles:

    • “GOG Is Being Acquired by Original Co-Founder Michał Kiciński” - techraptor.net/…/gog-acquired-original-co-founder
    • “Co-founder of CD Projekt Michał Kiciński has acquired GOG, the company’s game storefront” - engadget.com/…/co-founder-of-cd-projekt-michał-ki…
