GOG, the DRM-free game distribution platform, has been sold by CD Projekt RED to co-founder Michał Kiciński for $25.3 million. The new owner plans to maintain GOG's core values of DRM-free gaming and game preservation while competing against Steam's market dominance by focusing on classic games and indie titles rather than AAA releases. Kiciński emphasizes GOG's independence will allow it to pursue its own strategy, potentially expanding into IP acquisition and game remastering similar to Nightdive Studios. The platform offers flexible revenue splits with developers and maintains a curated approach to game selection, distinguishing itself from Steam's volume-based model.
