Owing to this success CD PROJEKT S.A. has become one of the +most respected videogame development studios in the world, establishing a +reputation for keen attention to user feedback. “The Witcher” brand may be +viewed as a well-known mark internationally. + +Furthermore, CD PROJEKT S.A. also owns copyright to the “Gwent” card game, +which is a part of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” video game (see: +http://en.cdprojektred.com/news/lets-talk-gwent/). The physical cards for +“Gwent” were a part of Xbox One collector edition of “The Witcher 3: Wild +Hunt” and “The Wither 3: Hearts of Stone” Expansion Pack. + +In general, we do not have anything against creation of fan work, and we +highly appreciate the dedication and creativity of our fans. However, +“Gwent” was created intentionally as a part of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”. +Should we ever decide to have also a standalone multiplayer version of +“Gwent”, we would like it to come from our studio. + +We have noticed, that GitHub user exane (https://github.com/exane) has +posted a standalone multiplayer version of “Gwent” card game, which +includes copyrighted material exclusively owned by CD PROJEKT S.A.
