CD Projekt is a video game company best known for making story-driven games for PC and consoles, especially The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077. It develops those games in-house through its studio and also publishes them to players around the world. Its main customers are gamers, and its money comes from selling full games, expansion packs, and other digital content.

The company also runs GOG, a digital store for PC games. GOG sells downloaded games directly to consumers and gives players a way to buy and keep DRM-free titles. That business makes money from game sales and from taking a share of sales made through its store.

What makes CD Projekt different is that it sits at both ends of the game business: it creates premium games and also controls one of the niche distribution channels for PC games. That gives it two ways to earn from the same audience, while keeping a strong focus on large, long-lived game franchises rather than a broad catalog of many small titles.
