O odejściu dwóch założycieli CD Projektu z firmy było w tym tym tygodniu w branży dosyć głośno. Pytano, jak zasłużona emerytura dla Michała Kicińskiego i Marcina Iwińskiego wpłynie na politykę firmy. Co dalej będzie z Wiedźminem? Cóż, nie ma się temu, co dziwić, w końcu jest to jeden z największych dystrybutorów w tym kraju. Jak się jednak okazuje, nie tylko w Polsce mówi się o tym posunięciu. Zobaczmy, jak komentowano tą decyzję za oceanem.

Publishing house CD Projekt's CEO Michal Kicinski and business development director Marcin Iwinski, both co-founders of the Polish studio, are resigning from their positions, GamaSutra reports. The exact reasons are vague though it seems beyond doubt that this is tied to the Optimus purchase, but the company assures us no ongoing projects are influenced by this change in staff, and both Iwinski and Kicinski are staying on in other positions.

Developer and publisher CD Projekt revealed that its CEO Michal Kicinski and business development director Marcin Iwinski, both co-founders of the Polish studio, are resigning from their positions.

Iwinski and Kicinski founded CD Projekt in 1994, and it has published many PC titles since, such as the acclaimed The Witcher series. The Warsaw-based company also owns and runs digital distribution platform Good Old Games.

The two executives apparently want to step away from managing the company to rest after assisting with a "share swap" between its holding company CDP Investment and Polish PC company Optimus last year -- a deal valued at 63 million zloty, or $22 million.

"They wanted to step back and relax after very busy last period, after finalising the venture with Optimus and other strategic projects and simply decided to take a longer leave in order to restore energy and to avoid being burned out."

CD Projekt claims that Kicinski and Iwinski's departure will not affect any project currently in development, as "every company inside CD Projekt group has their own management working independently from the owners".
