Nowakowski credited BioWare for helping bring The Witcher to life, along with numerous other influential games. The relationship between the two studios began when CD Projekt approached BioWare to localize Baldur's Gate for Poland, which became a major success. BioWare provided CD Projekt with their engine for The Witcher, helping the studio's journey to becoming a game industry powerhouse. Nowakowski expressed his sadness at BioWare's closure but also acknowledged the legendary status of the studio.",
