<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://gamasutra.com/view/news/30869/CD_Projekt_CEO_CoFounders_Resigning.php">Gamasutra are reporting</a> that co-founders Iwinski and Ikicinski have both resignedski:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">Developer and publisher CD Projekt revealed that its CEO Michal Kicinski and business development director Marcin Iwinski, both co-founders of the Polish studio, are resigning from their positions. [...] The two executives apparently want to step away from managing the company to rest.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">[...]</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">"Both Marcin and Michal have resigned from the positions they held, however they have not left the company," confirmed CD Projekt spokesperson Hubert Habas. [...] CD Projekt claims that Kicinski and Iwinski's departure will not affect any project currently in development, as "every company inside CD Projekt group has their own management working independently from the owners".</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So they're resigning but they're not leaving the company and it's okay as nothing is affected by this anyway (so what did they actually do then?). I haven't found any word yet about what they're still going to do with CD Projekt... Janitors?</p>

Would you leave the company that has its artists sketch out dozens of sex cards and pass them through the committee for approving?

Obvious answer is obvious.

Look at their fucking job titles man it should be obvious.

Business Development Director, IE he was the guy who looked at ideas like the Witcher or GoG and said, yeah, that would be a good idea. Alternatively, he's the guy who looked at something like the Witchers Console port and said, to expensive, this is taking too long, cut losses and run.

CEO, Chief Exec officer, he's the guy who looks at the BDD and says, yeah, I don't really like the idea of a console port, I know you're trying to complete it, but it's bleeding money right now. We'll shelve it and bring it back when it suits us.

Maybe they are delusional enough to think that after having positions as senior executives, they can go back to doing hands-on work that they actually enjoy?

As does 2/3rd's the population of Poland doesn't it? Does it have anything to do with the inbreeding, or is that just a coincidence? :smug:

OT - Is this kinda like when Bill Gates resignedski'd as CEO of Microsoft- so he could give all his money away to the poor and unfortunates - like the Polaks??

Edit: Err... maybe that's why they can afford to resignedski now ... :shock:
