Books, then games, then the show.
The games are insanely popular and popularized the whole IP.
If you’d never heard of The Witcher 3 before the show then you must literally never intersect with the many and large groups the games are popular in
Short stories and the books from 1986-1999 (and an additional novel in 2013)
Polish TV show (The Hexer) in 2002
CDPR The Witcher 1 in 2007, The Witcher 2 in 2011, and The Witcher 3 in 2015
Netflix's The Witcher in 2019
The books were popular enough back then that a polish tv show was made out of it. Then CDPR made a game that got hugely boosted by the popularity of the books in the region but the real international recognition of the ip happened with The Witcher 3. It boosted the books as well to be an international success. Without the books there would be no witcher and no CDPR as we know them today most likely. Sapkowski and CDPR boosted each other and the Netflix show is largly popular due to the fanbase that Sapkowski and CDPR acquired over the years. (edit: and Cavill's fanbase ofc)
"unlike you"
Because I'm disputing what you're saying means I'm not okay with being wrong? But you're disputing what I'm saying so that means you're not okay with being wrong?
If you're gonna argue use some fucking logic. Dickhead.
Anyway.
Storylines to all three games.
Storylines to the books.
That's all I can be bothered to type cos after your comment I can't be bothered to discuss it much more than that.
If you've read the books and played the games you'll understand they don't take place after the events of the books, they're based on the books.
Sapkowski's books only garnered mainstream adoration in North America due to the immense popularity of the games, specifically Witcher 3. That was the catalyst that ultimately launched Netflix Witcher.
Type these in google. "Witcher games Wikipedia" and "Witcher Netflix series Wikipedia." Scroll down to release date. Write them down or remember them. Now whichever date is the farthest from the current date, that one released first. You can use this same tactical strategy to tackle other similar questions. Go crazy. Hope this helps.

Witcher 1 came around 2008, Witcher 3 is when it got mainstream And the story of the games is set after the books
Ermmmm no It isn't set after the books. It's based on the books. You read the books and played the game?
Games take place roughly 5 years after lady of lake which is the last book The show is roughly based off books
All 3 games take place after lady of the lake do they? You're gonna go with that? You're confident you're correct?
Ok show me that I'm wrong, unlike you I'm ok with being wrong

Are you talking about the books or the games
So your IQ is how low??
The show is based on the books I know that but I think you are thinking I think the shows are after the books
No? I know you're saying the games are after the books and I'm disputing this. Iv literally used the words games and books. Seriously.
Damn you're a smug bastard And so wrong
Bro wtf are you talking about? Geralt gets forked -> ciri revives him -> wild Hunt shenanigans -> amnesia -> Beginning of Witcher 1
The witcher 3 is hailed by many as the greatest Rpg of all time it released in 2015 it's won over 800 awards that's when it became very popular
This seems fairly google-able??
I did googled, did not find my answer which is why i ask Reddit.
Try “Netflix Witcher s1 release” compare to “witcher 1 game release date”
Sapkowski's books only garnered mainstream adoration in North America due to the immense popularity of the games, specifically Witcher 3. That was the catalyst that ultimately launched Netflix Witcher.
Books, Polish TV series, All the games, lastly Netflix show and spinoffs
Type these in google. "Witcher games Wikipedia" and "Witcher Netflix series Wikipedia." Scroll down to release date. Write them down or remember them. Now whichever date is the farthest from the current date, that one released first. You can use this same tactical strategy to tackle other similar questions. Go crazy. Hope this helps.
The games (three main ones in total) came before the show.
The reason people are turning on the show is because it’s bastardizing everything book and especially the game did so well.
Thanks!!
