Its hard to guess what that is all about when they are being so subtle.

I think they would do the best job at marketing it I guess.
Yeah, it's a pretty stark contrast. I think part of it is due to the context of these two works. Cyberpunk is a pnp which is inherently nerdy. The Witcher is a fictional work by an author and while fantasy is nerdy too, his works are more living than Cyberpunk which has been dormant for sometime.
CDPR is helping to revive Cyberpunk, and Mike Pondsmith is ecstatic to create something for everyone with their help.
However CDPR could take liberties on TW, and seeing how popular they got without Andrzej Sapkowski's influence he is left bitter over his intellectual property. I think it was the wrong thing to say, but I can see the difference circumstances that they are working out of.
Anyways Pondsmith seems like an awesome guy, and I can't wait to see how things turn out.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I don't really think Sapkowski is bitter about the games. He has no problem with the games. What he does have is a strict authority over his canon and perception of story telling, and emphasises the point that no matter how much fans or the developers want to believe it, The Witcher video games are not canon nor part of his story. He considers The Witcher his creation and thus he is the one to steer it, and because he has no interest in the interactive medium will not be perusing a collaboration with CDP. It's not like he's stomping up and down and telling people not to play the games or trying to shut CDP down. He doesn't care if they use his material. He's just being typically inexperienced and disinterested in interactive story telling, and making the point that The Witcher is still his.
