At the very end of 2025, Witcher 3 developer CD Projekt Red announced it had sold its long-running PC gaming store GOG to CD Projekt and GOG co-founder Michał Kiciński. And while Kiciński launched GOG with its anti-DRM ethos, he’s been away from both companies for the last 13 years, and it was unknown if he might take the now independent storefront in a new direction. According to an interview with GI.biz, there are no fears of GOG backing down from its bold stance, even if it means missing out on lucrative AAA gaming sales.
