Other way around.
He signed on to make the Witcher series, true to the books.

They moved it away from that, and audiences turned away from it.

Cavill was right.

Where did you hear that? Thats not even remotely what happened.

Cavill reportedly badgered his agent to let him meet with The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich as she recalls him being “really annoying” with his insistence on playing the lead role in the series that (at the time) she hadn’t even begun writing yet

Yeah, no the show had no intentions of telling the same story from the start.

  Are you saying they intended for the show to be even further from the source material? Maybe don’t call the show “The Witcher” then.

    The games are the exact same thing, and they are called the Witcher too. What’s your point?

    The games change the books’ ending. So anyone pointing at them as examples of reverence is just putting their own ignorance on display xD
