“I’ve been on show - namely Witcher - where some of the writers were not or actively disliked the books and games (even actively mocking the source material),” DeMayo explained. “It’s a recipe for disaster and bad morale. Fandom as a litmus test checks egos, and makes all the long nights worth it. You have to respect the work before you’re allowed to add to its legacy.”

Very close to the books, my ass. Also, if it was so close, why did superfan Henry Cavill leave?

This is pre-release TV hype bullshit, as a form of damage control.

That’s why they fired the guy who wanted it to be more like the books. It all makes sense!

Hahaha, sure, of course it will.

Lies!!!
