That is quite cheap for an AAA game.
Game of the Year 2015 without any remotely close competitor.
Most AAA games are trash anyway. CD Projekt Red being an obvious example. But Id still give more credit to the likes of Almost Human or InXile.
I'm happy about all the good things that happen to DC Projekt. They deserve it.

Jesus F. Christ, the source for this news is a video posted by CDP themselves from investor meeting:

All information is there including net profit and their current cash balance. They also released detailed info in text:

I really hate this trend of posting news without actual sources which then leads to stupid speculation.
TLDR: Witcher 3 paid for itself on day 1, already made more than 60 million USD in pure profit and continues selling incredibly well, due to its extremely high quality, effective marketing and word of mouth.

Well, this year is not over yet. We still have Fallout 4 in November and possibly Torment: Tides of Numenera in December. But still, you're probably right.
Not really. The Witcher 3 would rank around 18th of the list of most expensive video games ever, . Incidentally, it was only slightly less expensive to make than Skyrim was (85m, 89m after inflation).
As opposed to Destiny that was 500 million?
