It is time to admit the obvious. The Witcher is a disaster and won't get any better. Despite the original excitement surrounding the series, things quickly turned for the worst once Season Two came around. Although The Witcher was never a mainstream story, it did have a fair amount of success. The novels were written by Andrzej Sapkowski, with the first book released in 1989. Since its release, they managed to sell 5 million copies. Although this is no Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, it is still an impressive milestone. However, fortunes eventually changed when CD Projekt Red turned the story into video games.
Like the novel, the success of the video game IP took time. The first two Witcher games fell short of expectations and never became mainstream. However, The Witcher 3 was a massive success and, to date, has sold over 75 million copies. This success catapulted the IP and made it a household name. It is worth mentioning that CD Projekt Red did not follow the source material of the original novel closely. Instead, they added to the original work in a way that most agreed was respectful. Although they deviated from the story, they treated the main characters respectfully.
