Andrzej Sapkowski's got a new Witcher book on the way, which means he's out and about being his usual scorchingly, wonderfully honest self on the interview circuit. Most recently, he's been at Vienna Comic Con, where he chatted with Austrian gaming website Cerealkillerz about writing (don't do it), videogames (he doesn't play them), and the Netflix Witcher TV series (they didn't listen to him).
"Maybe I gave them some ideas," Sapkowski said when asked if he ever gave Netflix feedback on the show, "but they never listened to me." Emitting what I can only describe as a kind of cackle, Sapkowski repeated "they never listen," before giving an impression of a Netflix exec irritatedly asking "Who's this? It's a writer, it's nobody," and dismissing Sapkowski with an airy wave of the hand.
