CD Projekt and Optimus complete transaction

Poland-based CD Projekt and Optimus S.A. have concluded a deal this week that will see the creator of The Witcher and the owner of the classic games web site Good Old Games get a 23 million dollar injection cash once the deal is complete. As part of the deal CD Projekt will retain control of the company (CD Projekt Group) and gain control of Optimus by acquiring 50 percent of the listed company’s shares. This also makes CD Projekt a publically traded company.

“This transaction represents the full realization of the strategic goals that CD Projekt’s owners set for themselves,” said CDP Investment stockholder Adam Kiciński in a statement of the company’s official web site this morning. “Above all, we will become a publicly listed company, which denotes access to capital. That in turn will spur further company growth. The immediate financing we obtained through the deal will allow us to pursue our operational goals in troubled times. We have gained all this while retaining control of the business, which was essential to us. The added spice of the contract is that we are merging with a corporation that, like CD Projekt, has been at the center of the Polish computer market throughout its history.“

Optimus S.A. is a Warsaw, Poland-based computer company that makes PCs and providing IT solutions for companies. In the 1990s Optimus S.A. was one of the leaders of the Polish computer market.

Red Baron collection now on Good Old Games

Classic games portal Good Old Games is bringing the classic Red Baron air-combat series to the masses this week, DRM-free and at a low, low price. Thanks to a fresh agreement with Mad Otter Games, GOG.com will offer the complete Red Baron series in one value-packed bundle for $9.99. This package includes the original Red Baron, the Red Baron Mission Builder to build your own crazy scenarios and Red Baron 3D. All of the stuff in this package will be DRM-free and Windows XP & Vista compatible.

In case you didn’t know here’s a little history on the series: The Red Baron series was created by Dynamix, who later got acquired by Sierra. The game is considered by many to one of the best and probably only World War I flight simulator - excluding games that involve Snoopy - but those aren’t real simulations for obvious reasons (no offense to Snoopy - you know I love you dawg!). The games allow players to fly authentic World War I aircraft in individual missions or campaign mode, as they accompany the famous World War I flying ace (again, not Snoopy) in his squadron or hunt him as a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps.

Also available today at the classics-only, DRM free site is the Hidden Gem of the Week - Arx Fatalis. You can read about that at GOG as well. Because it is the Gem of the Week, you can get it for a $1 off for a limited time - $4.99.
