    The main change in the games is it’s set after the assumed death of Geralt in the books. So it’s new stuff after the books. The popularity of the games made Sapkowski write more books that are different from what happens in the games.

      Good for the guy. Wikipedia says it started as short stories in a magazine starting 1986, became books in 1994, games in 2007. So it did take a while, work, and layers of recognition from the magazine readers to the Netflix execs. Showrunners just say skip all that.
