Quoting: KlaasIt's hard to say if that is good or bad.

Depends on what Kiciński intends to do with this. You don't spend that much if you're not expecting your purchase to be profitable. For CDP it very well could have been a side thing used for marketing (and up to a point a distribution platform) and positive PR more so than for profit. I'd say that based on what's been disclosed publicly... as of the dumping GOG no longer maths as a business.

Unless Kiciński truly just wants a pet company that basically and barely funds itself, and doesn't really make anything... for the good of game preservation? Uh, yeah, sure.

I've been expecting something like this for a while now, the signs have been there for years, and while I do hope this is good news... I know better.

Of course, there's still the remote chance the new owner has a solid plan that's going to work out and that GOG will continue somehow. Perhaps as a legitimate Steam competitor in some way. CDP fumbled GOG and past a point was clearly disinterested in trying, even if they pretended otherwise, so maybe this is actually preferable to closing GOG down. That would've been... not great for CDP(R)'s image which I'm sure they are acutely aware of.

Also, let's consider a scenario in which CDPR adds a store to its launcher - which they've been laying the groundwork for for years now - and GOG ceases to be the default distribution platform for CDPR's games. Steam is a bigger slice of pie overall, but whatever traffic that generated disappearing from GOG (even if GOG still keeps selling the games which it will) is probably going to hurt the platform that's a bit too close to breaking even to call it a stable venture.
