The Witcher author says he's never played the games that cemented his fame: "I have no time for this, and it's not entertainment for me" (www.gamesradar.com)

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.
