In an interesting business move, the Polish web site Polygamia is reporting that Poland-based game developer CD Projekt is about to become a publically traded company on the Warsaw Stock Market. The site claims that CD Projekt's owners will take over the shares of a nearly defunct PC maker and publically traded company Optimus S.A. Technically Optimus S.A. will purchase CD Projekt via a share deal but those shares would be owned by CD Projekt's owners. We've emailed CD Projekt to get more info but their spokesperson would not comment on the story. However, GamesIndustry.biz says that they have confirmed the news with the company's marketing head.

CD Projekt is of course the developers of The Witcher. A sequel to that game was officially revealed recently. It also owns the GoG.com classic PC game download site and another game developer Metropolis Software. That team has been working on a first person shooter game for some time that was previously titled They but may have had a title change.

Update: According to our sister site Joystiq the deal between Optimus S.A. and CD Projekt Red will actually result in CD Projekt's owners holding half the shares and Optimus's owners claiming the other half, making the deal more of a merger than a change in ownership.
