Franchise Author Andrzej Sapkowski claims 'The Witcher 3' Success harmed his books
Source code for CD Projekt's action role-playing games The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 have allegedly been compromised.
Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.
But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅
CDPR says that players shouldn't expect The Witcher 4 to be "Witcher 3 in new clothing," as the studio is adding new gameplay elements in it.
From Ballblazer to The Witcher 3: unlock the hidden potential of visuals through the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Yeah, he's just a bitter jealous man. He wishes his books had the success that The Witcher games have had amd just can't handle it. It doesn't help that every time he opens his mouth nothing but vitriol comes out.
I'm pretty sure the games opened up a larger market of people buying his books, I'd personally never heard of the books until the first game came out. Sounds like sour grapes to me.
That is such a shame. :(
I am a fan of the books and the games. I work with a man from Poland who has only read the books and adores them dearly. He is of the opinion that the video games have opened up more people to the series in both forms of media and he is thankful for it.
It's a shame the author only finds himself frustrated by the success of the video games. I can empathize that he is upset about the reputation of his work given the example he provides. I can say that the video games opened me up to reading the novels. They are superb.
I agree with Nivekki. Without the game, the books might have been unheard of. I'm not saying they're not good in any way, in fact they are the reason the Witcher was such a great game. But I can understand why he's feeling a little bitter. Sort of.
His problem is that gaming punters might be more loyal and passionate about the game than readers are about his books. He took a cheque and underestimated CDPR and the gaming base. Not our problem witch boy.
