I got nothing against this. Geralt's story is over. It came to a very definitive end with The Witcher 3 where every lingering conflict he had left over from the books and previous games was resolved, and Blood and Wine provided him one last hurrah and an avenue to retire in. Let him fucking rest and let his story be properly concluded. Don't treat him like some fucking Marvel mascot to whore out endlessly as a merchandise-printing machine. Same goes for everyone else, including Ciri; her story's done as well and she's too damn overpowered to make for a reasonable RPG protagonist.
I still don't expect anything good to happen in this game. The CDPR we have today is not the same one that made the original Witcher trilogy, and they've spent more time talking about ESG than on any of the multiple freaking games they claim to be working on. Even fucking Phantom Liberty was something they were awfully damn quiet about until it was practically on top of us.

That wouldn't be the only problem, the TV show will mean a lot more normies taking an interest in the games if more do happen because many normies are so devoid of actual personality they need to latch on to bandwagons to have any experience of being part of a group, despite their behaviour being inherently destructive while companies cater to their denominator.
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.
