Namco sues CD Projekt RED over Witcher 2

The publisher of the PC version isn't happy with the developer

Posted on
Following the announcement that THQ will distribute the Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2, the publisher of PC version Namco Bandai has filed a case against CD Project RED.

According to the lawsuit, CD Projekt RED broke their agreement by removing the DRM protection without the publisher’s authority and by choosing THQ for the distribution of their next title.

It was also reported that in the meantime, Namco Bandai has ceased payments to CD Projekt RED for the game’s retail sales.

Adam Kicinski, CEO of CD Projekt RED said: “As with most cases, we first tried to end the dispute peacefully. Attempts failed and because of this, we hoped that our partner would send the case to the court. The agreement that we signed last year, concerned only the distribution of “The Witcher 2″ for the PC. The records were carefully clarified to avoid any ambiguity."

"Our financial situation is very good at the moment and the lack of a few million does not have any impact on current activities. Withholding of payments means only that after some time, our partner will have to give us the money."

The Witcher 2 is now in stores for PC and via digital retailers, while the Xbox 360 version is coming later this year.
