Michał Kiciński, co-founder of CD Projekt, has acquired 100 percent ownership of GOG, the DRM-free digital games store.

      CD Projekt has shareholders. Shareholders expect revenue growth with less to no expense growth.

      GOG wants to grow expenses (developing patches for niche games) with little potential for revenue. Shareholders don’t tend to like doing things for goodness sake, while private owners can do whatever they like.

        As long as they offer DRM free games I’ll buy. No sense worrying now about something that may not come to pass. They’re still a massive underdog who have seen epic and ea fail at stores, and they know their edge is DRM free

        As soon as they give up DRM free I’ll stop giving them money

    I’m cynical about this simply because “shareholders” are involved. Possible enshittification ahead.
