The author of the novel "The Witcher" despises the game again: The setting of the witcher school is completely

Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of the novel "The Witcher", never hides his extreme contempt for the game..This attitude was even worsened after his famous dispute with Polish developer CD Projekt RED: Initially, he sold the Witcher game adaptation rights for relatively low prices because he thought the games could not be successful at all.

However, after the great success of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunter, Sapkowski asked for a $16 million share, although there was no share clause in their previous contract.Eventually, CD Projekt RED reached a new agreement with the author of The Witcher, which allegedly satisfies both parties.

However, in a recent Reddit AMA event in the Fantasy sub-section, Sapkowsky once again criticized the CD Projekt game, and specifically named the "No need" setting of the witch hunter school.

Here are his original words:

"I have to explain the question about the 'World School' - Sorry. In "The Last Wish", there is a mysterious sentence about the 'Wolf School'. Later I felt it was not worth further development, and it was also narratively wrong, even deteriorating the plot. Therefore, I never mentioned any witch hunters Gryffindors or Slytherins again. No more. However, that sentence was enough. Later adapters, especially video game producers, held on to this point and expanded the various 'World School'. It was completely unnecessary.

I'm still not sure what to do with this situation.Perhaps, I would choose the least resistance to remove the sentence about "school" from a future version of "The Last Wish".Or maybe, I will somehow expand and clarify this question in subsequent books? Or maybe, I will clarify the issue of the Witcher Medal, its significance, and its connection to a particular person? There are many possibilities, and nothing is possible.”

It's obvious that Sapkowski never played CD Projekt's The Witcher game, because these schools are not the same as Harry Potter's academy.

In AMA, he also answered a question about the adaptation, again emphasizing that the text itself is better than the image (whether in animation or other forms):

"No matter how good these adaptations are, there is no dependence or intersection between the original literary works and the adaptation. The original works are the original works, and the adaptation is the adaptation; you cannot translate the words into images without losing things, and there is no connection between the two. Moreover, adaptations are mostly visual, that is, turning words into pictures. It is obvious that there is no need to prove that written words are superior to images. Written words always, and inevitably outperform images, and no picture—whether animated or otherwise—can match the power of words.”
