While CD Projekt Red was pretty beloved in some circles beforehand, The Witcher 3 was the game that launched the studio into superstardom when it was released 10 years ago.
While reflecting on The Witcher 3's 10th anniversary in an interview with PC Gamer magazine, Michal Nowakowski, joint-CEO of CD Projekt Red, revealed that things weren't always so good for the studio. Thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, some within CD Projekt Red were worried they would have to shut its doors after the release of the first game in The Witcher series. Nowakowski said it "was a very tricky period for the company."
