CD Projekt Turns a $125 Million Profit in 2019

[btarunr]

Polish game studio CD Projekt, behind the smash-hit "The Witcher" game franchise and 2020's most anticipated game, "Cyberpunk 2077," turned a handsome profit in 2019. The studio reported 521 million PLN (roughly USD $125 million) in sales for the fiscal year 2019, which the company says is a 44 percent growth over 2018. Its consolidated net profit increased by 60 percent over 2018, to 175 million PLN ($42 million). Interestingly, CD Projekt attributes its growth to sales of "The Witcher 3," particularly its Nintendo Switch release, and "GWENT" on mobile. Pre-orders of "Cyberpunk 2077" will stream cash into CDPR's coffers, leading up to its September 2020 release.

Nice. See how money can be made without DRM when the games are good

Yep. I bought my copy of W3+all expansions on GOG. DRM free and was happy to pay full price for it because of it.

I've been rebuying games I already own on GOG simply because it's DRM free.

Same here and not to mention GoG still does sales like the early ones Steam did (hard to find something below 50%-off), so even that comes cheap and they make these profits!
A good service, a good offer and some own-made IP thrown in the mix works!

My main gripe with gog is that you can list by price. It is super annyoing.

As they should. They are worth every penny because they value their customers.
