KNF may penalize The Witcher 3 producer

Financial watchdog KNF said it is examining whether video game developer CD Projekt, the company responsible for The Witcher 3, broke the law by publishing its sales results in the form of a press release and not, as it is legally required, as the so-called current report through specific trading information system ESPI. CD Projekt announced last week that it had already sold 4 million copies of its flagship project The Witcher 3. Soon after, the price of its shares increased by 20 percent, and the value of the company exceeded PLN 400 million. The KNF is evaluating if the information met the criteria of confidential information. If so, the company may face a penalty of up to PLN 1 million.
