CD Projekt Red has sold its digital storefront GOG to co-founder Michał Kiciński for 90 million PLN, about $25 million USD. The move allows GOG to operate fully independently while maintaining its DRM-free philosophy and game preservation efforts. CD Projekt plans to continue releasing its titles on the platform through a new distribution agreement.
GOG, the DRM-free digital game retailer owned by CD Projekt, has introduced native Linux support for its GOG Galaxy client. This move addresses long-standing requests from Linux gamers and aligns with the growing popularity of Linux-based gaming, particularly driven by Valve's Steam Deck. The change could enhance GOG's appeal in a competitive market dominated by platforms like Steam.
