Andrzej Sapkowski, the creator of the Witcher series did not think that the games would be a success, selling the rights to the series for a lump sum rather than for a percentage of profits.

I read something about that elsewhere some time ago. Apparently he's a bit salty about not having a say with the future movie/TV direction. As I understood CD Project RED owns those rights, but Andrzej has the rights for any future books

A good game is a good game, even if the story is , just look at Skyrim.

Take note. This does not mean you can bring out watered down, lazy sequels and people will keep buying them.

With a video game any love you put in will come out onto the person playing it. If you are sloppy and lazy your game will feel sloppy and lazy.

IE - you can never rest and never let up. Unless of course you want Witcher 4 to be like Fallout 4.

I'm excited for any new book he writes. I'm currently reading the series right now
