Congrats to cdpr for making it through the tough times

I'm specifically referring to this article https://www.pcgamesn.com/how-cd-projekt-red-fought-publishers-win-their-independence

I don't fully understand it (probably because i just skimmed it) but cdpr had issues with the game "white wolf" which is just basically the witcher for console. A deal involving Atari. Atari wanted 2 year money on physical witcher 2 sales to make up for the problem. Then thq wanted some ransom (dont get it). Now they have no legal battle or outstanding fines and fully own their witcher game rights and sales. As i understand it, it started off as a company called wide-screen games having bad game developers, demanding money and delaying "white wolf". So congratulations cdpr. Perhaps someone could clear up the bits i missed or are incorrect.

Great read, OP. Thanks for sharing.

I'll give this one a read in the next few hours.

UPDATE: I read the article gregski posted. Wow, what a read. That's an amazing story and it really speaks to me. You couldn't write this stuff - the story of CDPR and their games. No one would believe you.
