Part 9/12:
This situation with The Witcher mirrors a larger industry trend—expensive productions that fail to meet expectations due to mismanagement, creative disagreements, or political motives. Many shows and films with massive budgets, like Rings of Power or Born Again, continue operating despite poor reception, often sustained by their brand recognition or massive investments.
Equally concerning is how studios allocate funds. The rumored expenses on The Witcher, almost half a billion dollars, show potential avenues of waste. Despite high spending, the quality of the final product often disappoints, leading critics to speculate about corruption or pockets lining the production process.
