    Why would they, they are writing their own shitty stories and then wrapping the Witcher IP over them.

      what’s funny, if i remember correctly, was that when the show was first announced, i’m pretty sure the author was brought in as an “advisor” of a sort and they were talking about how the show was going to be more accurate to the books than the games.

      we all know how that panned out

        I remember that. I also remember Cavill saying he was on board for 7 seasons if they kept true to the book story. It’s clear he acted as a warning to the community as well since he did actually love the books.
