GOG is breaking off from CD PROJEKT with 100% of it now owned by one of the original co-founders, Michał Kiciński, who is a co-founder of both GOG and CD PROJEKT.

With this move, GOG will continue operating independently but there's an agreement that's been signed between CD PROJEKT and GOG for future cooperation including releasing games on GOG from CD PROJEKT RED. The purchase of GOG came at a cost of PLN 90.7 million and Kiciński continues holding their shares in CD PROJEKT too as co-founder but now owns 100% of the shares in GOG.

Whoa, this sounds like drama. Though over what, I don't know. I didn't know CDPR's co-founder left awhile ago.

What's going on there at CDPR, and why would GoG want to get out from under them?

    Different businesses with different goals, no drama

    That's what I feel; CD Projekt is a bigger studio with more demands on it now than they were a decade ago, and GoG has grown and has different needs. Splitting them up and allowing them to operate independently is likely the best way forward for both of them.
