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) was mostly recently valued around $10bil US between market cap and assets, and GOG’s slow-but-consistent increase in popularity…
How did cd projekt acquire gog from cd projekt?
Gog was owned by CD Project.
Gog now owned by dude.

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

- “Co-founder of CD Projekt Michał Kiciński has acquired GOG, the company’s game storefront” - https://www.engadget.com/gaming/pc/co-founder-of-cd-projekt-michał-kicinski-has-acquired-gog-the-companys-game-storefront-174853415.html
