""GOG and Michał Kiciński are aligned by a shared belief that games should live forever, " said Maciej Gołębiewski, Managing Director of GOG. "In a market that's getting more crowded, more locked-in, and forgets classic games at an increasing pace, we're doubling down on what only GOG does: reviving classics, keeping them playable on modern PCs, and helping great games find their audience over time""
""When Marcin Iwiński and I came up with the idea for GOG, the vision was simple: bring classic games back to players and ensure that once you buy a game, it truly belongs to you - forever.""
"Kiciński's funding for the purchase comes in part from his 10% stake in CD Projekt Red, but also from Mudita, a company he owns and operates that focuses on minimalist technology. Mudita is best known for devices like an E-ink phone with no internet access, and was founded with the goal of combating digital addiction, information overload, and smartphone radiation."
CD Projekt Red sold Good Old Games (GOG) to co-founder Michał Kiciński for $25.2 million, making Kiciński the platform's sole owner. GOG will continue focusing on reviving classic games, keeping them playable on modern PCs, and offering DRM-free purchases that let buyers move, install, and play without constant online verification. Kiciński financed the acquisition partly through his 10% stake in CD Projekt Red and partly via Mudita, his minimalist-technology company known for an E-ink phone with no internet access. Kiciński previously left the gaming business due to burnout and frames the purchase as a return to his roots and indie involvement.
