mhm but as with a song of ice and fire people care more about the "free adaption" that is game of thrones and the witcher games. all the bookreaders pretend like the canon from the show/games doesn't mean a thing. look at the logo on this page, is this the logo of the books or the games? look up the sale numbers for the books and the games, what do more people care about, the books or the games?

its nice that you summed up those important differences and i thank you for it. but saying cdpred "made up" the plot for the games is so irrelevant since the author also "made up" the plot of the stories. its fine that book readers consider the books a priority and all but don't come to a forum thats first and foremost for the games and start putting the games plot down and saying its all wrong because of such and such since its different from the books.

the author has clearly stated that he doesn't consider the game either a sequel nor a "alternate version" but a "free adaption". because of this interview i lost a lot of respect for him and it made me care very little about the books (having played the games first). to me making a destiction between an "alternate version" and a "free adaption" is very childish. if he refuses to give the plot of the game any sort of validation, i refuse to regard his books as important. he wrote a series about multiple worlds and dimension travelling enteties but if he is unwilling to fathom a multiverse where the games plot is quite literally an "alternate version" of his story, then that tells me how inflated his ego is.

like i said, its like it is with game of thrones, you may hold on to your myopic view of only the books being canon because you regard the author as the god of this world and what he says is the absolute truth but much more people only care about the books to enrich the games world, giving it more background but ultimatly always choosing the games version over the books.
