This dude has been crying about the games for years he hated them. The games are the only reason the Netflix series exists. Otherwise no one would have ever heard of Geralt.

This guy can fuck off. It might have been his idea to begin with, but he's done fuck all to progress the lore in the pop culture lexicon.
