Indeed. Instead of telling Netflix to fuck off and doing everything they can to disavow the show, which they should have done (and could have easily by simply ignoring it), CDPR have instead been leaning into it, giving it nods and incorporating its bullshit into their products. I'm honestly surprised they're still having Doug Cockle voice Geralt, and haven't just decided to recast him with Henry Cavill. Though I suppose that option will always be on the table.

CDPR don't have that leverage since the greedy fat fuck of an author was on board with the tv show regardless of how shit it was since it was making him even more money. He disparaged games in general before the actual games made him money and even took CDPR to court because his original lump sum payment was a drop in the ocean to the profits the games ended up making because he didn't think they were going to do well in the first place.
