I did not want to touch on the topic of rework, but I did it anyway, and with a demanding and destructive tone. I confess. honestly, the stress from the transfer and the meeting just started to let go of me, and now the realization of the statement I made comes to me.

I have always been proud and will continue to be proud of how much love and dedication you put into your work.

Always yours, Adam “, – says the text of the letter sent to all employees of CD Projekt RED. Internal sources forwarded Schreier the words of Kicinski.
