Crosmando: Just saying, the Witcher is the McDonalds of RPGs.
May the gentleman be seated on the bergère, while we hold his tongue and stuff him with Toussaint cuisine.

Breja: And I'm sure people here could come up with dozens more ideas. I know not everything could be done, but did anyone actually try? To brainstorm such ideas, to pick up a phone and contact these people?
But trying takes time and effort....it's much easier to just throw some stuff together as fast as possible and call it a day.

That said: lol at(and kudos on) this thread getting more replies than the official thread got, and in a much shorter time span.
(it was also fun to read....even the one GOG shill's posts[not your posts, OP] gave me a slight chuckle at how over the top they were)

Breja: Or the recent Polish feature lenght fan film?
Wow! Have not been following Witcher fan community for several years and almost missed the movie.

I am very interested in any forms of fan creation, and this one is looking awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)

True, of all the girls Geralt fucks, and you never get a sex scene with Ciri or the Queen (Henriette was it?), what a travesty.

There was a movie?

Man, i should be careful saying things like this. GOG might see it as an invitation for another annoying banner.

Frankly, there are better ways of promoting something than what has been done. Even my martial arts instructor managed to hear of the Monster Hunter movie, and wished he took my advice, as the fan of the series that I am, and did not watcdh it.

TBH, i thought about finally starting my copy of TW2, and then playing TW3, but i'm about witchered out 'cause of GOG. Like, the series is especially good in game format (imo, not at anything else), but the connection to CDP's crappy practices kind of ruins it for me. The whole shitshow around this "con," without me even bothering to take a look at it, just added more to it. Great setting , great potential, and the source material gives it eactly what we want from it, but all this stuff outside of the games (other than the books) more or less tends to ruin the whole thing. A bunch of people trying to cash in on something good, without a clue on why people like it. And, here we are, with CDP's most recent addition of Cyberpunk, with heavy corporate practices involved.

What's next? Are going to see CDP hire a bunch of atheists to make a game about Jesus? Are we going to have a bunch of catholic monks make a game about lesbian sex? I'm sure Monsanto will fund the next Jurassic Park game. And then that'll go so impressively that Bill Gates will then fund a game about writing your own OS to compete with microsoft. Then Jingping won't be able to resist joining in and ensuring they develop a game that shows why censorship is evil.

This just in, your father is determined to catch all the various pikachus in your pikachu monster game, because he wants to show you how cool and hip he can be, just like the corporations. Around here, we don't talk about tone deaf.

IIRC, wasn't Ciri bi? Would've been a great way to get some politics in, too! Not that it'd necessarily be politics, but this is a corporation we're talking about. We surely would not have heard the end of it.

Breja: I said it already in another thread that the big "WitcherCon" amounted to just a couple of lame presentations and pretty pathetic giveaway, and it got me thinking about all the ways they wasted this opportunity.

There was really no effort put into even pretending it's a celebration of the Witcher franchise as a whole and its fans. Instead we got just a bunch of promotional interviews and ads for upcoming products from Netflix and CDPR.

Think of all the things they could have done, all things Witcher they ignored entirely. Like, you know... the books? Or the old Polish tv series. Or the recent Polish feature lenght fan film?

Things they could have done
-interview the person who translated the books
-interview Michał Żebrowski (who played Geralt in the Polish tv series). Remember - he's also voicing Geralt in the Polish dub of the Netflix show, so it's not a stretch for Netflix to get him involved. How cool would it have been to get him in the same room with Cavill? Or at least have him participate online?
-do an interview, maybe a live Q&A with the cast & crew of Alzur's Legacy?
-do something with the fans? A cosplay competition or something?
-a decent giveaway (Thronebreaker? Concept art books for the tv show? e-book of the classic Polish comic book adaptation of the Witcher novels? Audiobook of the Last Wish short story read by Cavill like he did here?)
-competitions to win game and tv show related gadgets?
-charity auction of game and show related memorabilia?

And I'm sure people here could come up with dozens more ideas. I know not everything could be done, but did anyone actually try? To brainstorm such ideas, to pick up a phone and contact these people?
it's a western style convention.

They'd be a bit late for that, the movie's been out since 2019.

You saw how long they took to respond to criticism of anything else, like when they didn't bring certain zachtronics games here.

GOG is just a store, it's not up to them to do anything about it. I'm not even sure who it would be up to. CDPR? Netflix? Sapkowski? His publisher?

Actually, i decided to do some digging. It'd be either Netflix or Sapkowski. CDP only bought rights for games. Given the whole drama between him and GOG, we also know the publisher doesn't have it, 'cause he said he was underpaid, not his publisher.
