On one hand I can see how it might be sucky for him. On the other it's not like he was ripped off. When the deal was made he probably received what was probably close to market value for the permission to use the IP. It was much more CD Projekt that made The Witcher IP as popular as it is now than what he did. I would think he should thank the company for exposing and popularizing to the world to what he created, and if he was really that confident in his creation he should of bet on himself and what he created and asked for a percentage off the earnings made from it. It's kind of unfair for him to go back with hindsight and complain that CD Projekt got the better end of the deal. I'm sure if they tanked making the games or the setting of The Witcher just never got popular he would not have returned that up front money he got when no money was made off of it.

Im in the middle of playing Witcher 3 again. I need to find time to read the books. I bought them. Just too damn busy. I'm trying to get through a book my gf wrote first too.
They have free trials. It's really not that expensive if you go through the different plans.
Or just get a friend's password and throw a few bucks their way for the dirt cheap monthly fee Netflix costs. 5 would be more than enough to share.
The day this comes out, I'm going to have an all night binge and will probably need to phone in sick for work, or go to work in zombie-mode
It's finally here. 10 mins into the first episode and I'm already liking it.
Just finished watching it. I want Season 2 now.
Meh. Could be worse so far, sure. Could also be a lot better.

For the EMPEROR!!
Needs lots of things. Am I the only one disappointed in casting for Yennifer and Triss? Lambert better be fucking spot on, as should Visimir. Haven't seen em yet. No spoilers!
Triss probably should have been a different actress, she doesn't scream "Triss Merigold" to me. I actually saw a couple of actresses in the show that I think would have made a better Triss, but I ended up liking Yennefer. My only frame of reference is the video games though and the show is based on the books, not the games.

Yeah, I think I was most disappointed with Triss for sure. She doesn't seem like the kind of girl that would turn Geralts head and cause that excellent sexual tension with Yen.
Am I the only person not liking the Witcher series in Netflix?
I have forced myself to watch till 6th episode to like it and I failed.

Obviously, I'm not thrilled about it either. It could be a LOT worse though. But damn, it can be a lot fucking better too.
