I played the Witcher when it was released back in the day; I had heard some vaguely good things about it, and it seemed like something I would enjoy. I had no idea the card thing existed until I actually received one. I remember laughing at how silly it was. I felt it kinda fit within the kind of semi-serious adult theme of the game; "your mother sucks dwarven cock" etc. From what I recall, the second game was a bit more serious; never played the third one.
I think the cards had basically nothing to do with the game success, and judging from the comments here, it seems the first game wasn't even all that successful in the first place.

- yieldcrv 4y agoThe 3D scenes show a collaboration with women The cards show a “notch on your belt”, which is something a lot of people are sensitive to and don’t want to perpetuate, when given the choice So that’s what people are reacting to, not the mere presence of sexual encounters and explicitness at all Said another way: Of the subset of people that are fine with explicit depictions in this medium, a broader subset of them want to depict more women as collaborators as opposed to prizes and collectibles. They found that depiction detracted from this particular series.
