From the ashes of a troubled launch, Warsaw's CD Projekt has found something rarer than a good game: a second chance. Within a week of releasing Phantom Liberty, the spy-thriller expansion to Cyberpunk 2077, the studio crossed 3 million copies sold — a number that speaks not just to commercial appetite, but to the human capacity to forgive and return. In an industry where reputation is fragile and memory is long, this milestone marks a quiet but meaningful restoration of trust.
