How the fuck, after releasing one AAA game, they are worth almost as much as Capcom and Square Enix combined?
CD Projekt RED
I don't play boring open world shit with retarded combat
witcher 3 was solid 7 nowhere near 8 or 10s
they are based in a country with shady tax laws,
They make GOOD games and garner GOOD will from consumers without any of the BS of triple AAA companies.
Owning GOG probably has something to do with it. Part of the valuation is probably an estimation on the actual value of the Witcher IP itself as well,

Japanes developers are notoriously incompetent.
For example, a simplistic menu-based jrpg with virtually no interactivity or world simulation had a bigger team size and a longer development time than a sprawling open-world rpg made in the west.
It probably has to do with being by far the best and most talented developer of all time. Just saying.
But you play real life.

>Today CDPR announced its annual report for 2018, confirming some alarming financial trends for its DRM-free games store. Due to higher promotional costs for its new game Thronebreaker and increased operational spending, GOG only made around 30,000 PLN of profit in 2018, or about $7,800 in current USD conversion rates. This development underlines GOG's recent layoffs due to underwhelming earnings.
