Witcher 3 Breaks record - 100K+ simultaneous players on Steam
Thanks to Netflix 'The Witcher: The four and a half-year-old Witcher 3 breaks its own record of simultaneously active players on Steam. With the successful Netflix series, numerous players are likely to want to finally catch up on the role-playing game or play it through again.
In addition, The Witcher 3 was available again in the Steam Winter Sale 2019 , significantly reduced, which should have made the purchase decision easier for those interested. The Witcher 3 has a Metascitic of 93 and a user score of 9.4 on Metacritic . It is one of the best rated PC games ever. On the positive side, the game world design, graphics and music, story and attention to detail appear again and again. Criticism, on the other hand, is often heard in terms of superficial character development and too simple fighting systems.
The good news for fans of the exploratory storytelling style: When it comes to exciting stories and memorable characters, The Witcher 3 is based on the book template on which the Netflix series is largely based. However, the three-game adaptations do not tell the books, but instead invent their own stories in the witcher's universe, which are in no way inferior to the quality of the novel.

Kinda sad for gaming community, especially, PC wanna be master race.
Pro gamers like me, with more than 12.000 hours of gaming at least at one platform only, we know the best witcher was the first one, not two or three. It was unique!
If only people were pure immersive gamers and not sociable talkers.
