CD Projekt Red, the Polish developer behind The Witcher role-playing game franchise and digital PC store GOG.com, has issued a new statement to make it absolutely clear that the outfit is not interested in selling to anyone. Yesterday, a report stated that CD Projekt Red was potentially in acquisition talks with publishing giant Electronic Arts. But co-founder and joint-CEO, Marcin Iwinski, falsified the claim.
"We usually don't comment on rumors but this one has become quite viral and we think it deserves to be put to bed," Iwinski said in a statement to Eurogamer. "We are not talking with anyone regarding selling CD Projekt Red or GOG.com. Period." The report yesterday included a supposed payslip from a reported CD Projekt Red employee. But Iwinski says, "The payslip is a fake; it was not issued by our company."
CD Projekt Red is a subsidiary of CD Projekt, a publicly traded company in Poland. The company does work with behemoth publishers such as Electronic Arts, Ubisoft and Square Enix, among others for GOG distribution deals.
