disclosing sale numbers of The Witcher 3 to the public without publishing that information in the ESPI system - used by investors to track company reports. This is against the Polish law and they are now being investigated by the Polish Financial Conduct Authority. The maximum penalty imposed on the company may be as high as $1.3 million - their total net income last year.

With the net income they've made this year that $1.3 million fine shouldn't be a problem for them should they have to pay it.



At least someone is publishing sales numbers *cough* vgchartz *cough*



ehh fucking bullshit. i hope they arent fined. im fucking in love with The Witcher 3 and i really hope nothing bad happens to CD Project.



1,3 million would be pocket change for them after 2015's Witcher III sales...

Polish law is Polish law.

C'mon CD Projekt Red! I'm disappointed. Might as well loose your profit for your own fault.

Aww :/



Whew, 2014 net income was pretty shite. But seems pretty dumb to make a law against publicly announcing good news sales, i.e. everyone gets to know them at the same time, vs only announcing them to a financial market authority behind closed doors.

The combined sales for Witcher 3 will probably be 7-10 million within the next 3 years. That combined with the increased business to gog, it shouldn't be aproblem I would imagine, however that sucks though. It sounds like the guy who released it allowed his excitement to get the best of him. Hopefully it will be just a slap on the wrist. I don't think there was any malicious intent.
