Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of the Witcher books, is not a fan of the video games based on his work. In an interview at the Vienna ComiCon, he said that he finds them to be “strange” and “not entertainment for me.” He also said that he has never played a video game and does not intend to start.
According to the interview with CerealKillerz, Sapkowski’s main thought of the games is that they are more for advertising than anything else. He also said that he does not have any input into the games and that they are made by “professionals” who know what they are doing.
Despite his reluctance to play the games, Sapkowski does not begrudge the success of the games. He said that he is very happy that they have been so popular and that they have introduced his work to a new audience.
In addition to his thoughts on the games, Sapkowski also discussed his writing process. He said that he does not have any special rituals or requirements for his writing process. He simply sits down and writes, and sometimes the words flow like a waterfall. He also said that he would never give a book to his publisher unless he was satisfied with it. He considers every one of his books to be a masterpiece.
Sapkowski also offered some advice for young writers. He said that they should learn a trade that will make them money and forget about writing as a career. He said that there is no way to teach someone how to write, as it is a gift that one must have from within. While Sapkowski may not be a fan of the Witcher games, there is no doubt that they have been a major success.
They have introduced his work to a new audience and have helped to make him one of the most popular authors in the world. While he doesn’t play the games, it’s clear that he’s grateful for them.
