The gaming industry is full of rumors, leaks, and speculations, like any other industry. But, sometimes, these talks can take a life on their own. Case in point, the most recent whisper on the winds is a potential Sony takeover of the renowned Polish video game developer, CD Projekt RED. The company is behind monumental titles like The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077.
Although a PR person for the company has already denied that such a purchase is in the works, someone who's higher up the corporate ladder dismissed the claims again, further asserting its independence and commitment to its path.
In a recent earnings call, Adam Kiciński, the President and Joint CEO of CD Projekt RED, set the record straight, stating, "CD Projekt is not for sale. We want to remain independent."
Kiciński's assertive words are enough to quell the rumor mill, at least for the time being. But in an industry where colossal acquisitions like Sony's takeover of Destiny developer, Bungie, and Microsoft's buyout of Bethesda and Activision Blizzard have become commonplace, speculations are bound to persist.
