- srfvtgb 4y agoThe founders got their start selling pirated software, but CD Projekt itself started as a legit importer and localiser. Their initial success was due to knowing that they needed to compete with pirates on quality and convenience because piracy was so prevalent in Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Projekt#Founding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Projekt#Founding
- ilyt 4y agoI remember! Baldur's Gate was a first "legit" game I bought for my pocket money that wasn't just "a game attached to a magazine". And the localization was epic. It would be basically equivalent to all movie/TV star localization on the west. I still like the translated narrator better than the original.
