CD Projekt

CD Projekt is a Polish computer game publisher. The company was founded in May 1994 by Marcin Iwiński and Michał Kiciński. From the beginning their goal was to publish software in the Polish market on compact discs. The company became the first Polish publisher to publish software on CDs and for a long time it was the only company in Poland specializing in publishing computer and video games and educational software.

CD-Projekt is also known in the polish gamer community for being the first to publish fully translated international hit games, such as the Baldur's Gate saga (one of the first games fully translated into Polish, an event which became a milestone of computer gaming and publishing in Poland), Planescape: Torment (considered by many gamers as the best polish translation of all times), both Icewind Dale games and many more. A recent major translation, widely covered by the media, was Heroes of Might and Magic V. Most of CD-Projekt's game translations feature well known professional Polish actors and celebrities, such as Piotr Fronczewski, Bogusław Linda, Małgorzata Foremniak, Daniel Olbrychski and many others.

During February 2002, CD Projekt launched a new unit, CD Projekt RED STUDIO, which specializes in developing computer games. The first game in production is The Witcher, based on Andrzej Sapkowski's books. Also in 2002, CD projekt expanded to the Czech republic and Slovakia, where it began to distribute games in Czech transalation.

On October 6, 2005 CD Projekt launched a platform called gram.pl (pl. i'm playing.pl). It is a portal created for players looking to sell or buy new games. A life-time warranty is provided with new purchases.
