I'm not going into this again, as I have already derailed the thread enough. You can gladly go to one of the threads we had back then and read everything discussed there.

I will not miss dtp, but to their defense, they did publish Drakensang DRM free.
I would expect that they will sell some publishing rights of already existing and healthy game series to get some cash influx. Again, Drakensang comes to mind.

They are being offered the ability to pay back what they owe. Once the company has to spend money on investigation and processing it, the person that's infringed should be the one to pay.

Letting people just pay what they would have paid had they not been caught infringing on the copyright would make it basically pointless to enforce as you'd always come out even if you pirated and most of the time you'd come out ahead.

I think this might be a chance for GOG or CDP since they are so geographically near. They understand the market here.

Depends. Anyway, it wouldn't be GOG who would lead the talks, but CD Projekt RED, the parent company. They probably have the funds and some interest in this deal to make it work. In the end, it's a numbers game.

i do dislike those legal scams on principle, but unless i get one myself, i really don't give a crap. for all i know, only pirates get those.

dtp have published some good games in the past, the Drakensang games for example, so i'd be sad to see them go. i sure as hell don't want to see the same happen to Kalypso. JoWood deserved it, but these companies don't.

Not necessarily. DTP E. was mainly a publisher, we don't know how licencing was directed. They may not have full rights to sell the games through digital publishers like GOG, only retail and similar. There's a lot of smoke on the horizon right now, you can't be sure what's gonna happen.

Hmm. Browsing through their catalogue, most of their stuff seems to be German licenses of games that have their global rights tied to another company anyway. For example, they apparently published several 1C games, and several Focus games, in Germany. And then some casual stuff. There seems to be very little, if any, original material. Given this, I don't see the big deal (or the chance for GOG). Or am I missing something?

CDP should buy them out from under DTP and start work on The Guild 3. They have my bow...

CDP have no budget for buying those rights or whatsoever. They are spending all their money on production of two high budget games. ;)

Did they post their finances somewhere in public without anybody noticing? Or how would you know this?

They are traded on the polish stock exchange, so yeah, those numbers are in the open. You have to read polish, though...

CDP or Optimus is traded on the stock market which means they publish a balance sheet. I am not sure how much information you can derive from this about the ability of GOG to finance investments.

I did read their yearly report released recently. They have pretty healthy finances but also they have depts for 10M$.
