"On December 29, CDPR announced via a press release that its Steam-like storefront, GOG, has been fully acquired by CDPR co-founder Michał Kiciński. As part of the deal, Kiciński now owns 100 percent of GOG's shares after purchasing them for 90 million PLN or about 25 million USD. The deal didn't involve the co-founder selling any of his shares in CDPR. "GOG and Michał Kiciński are aligned by a shared belief that games should live forever," said GOG managing director Maciej Gołębiewski."
"Launched in October 2008, GOG (originally known as Good Old Games) was started as a place for retro games to be sold by various publishers and developers. The store offers titles with no DRM and has since expanded greatly, selling new and old games while also starting an ambitious preservation program to help keep dated games running on modern hardware without publisher support."
