10 Video Game Developers Who Made The Right Decision To Ignore Fans

10. Romancing Triss AND Yennefer - CD Projekt Red (The Witcher 3)

The Witcher 3 finally answered the burning question on all fans' minds: will the titular Geralt of Rivia cop off with series stalwart Triss Merigold, or with his star-crossed lover from the books, Yennefer?

In fact, the game allows him to get it on with either lady. You might think some players would try to sneak an awkwardly-rendered lovemaking scene with both women, and you'd be absolutely right. If this happens, Triss and Yen invite Geralt to a steamy ménage à trois... before tying him unclothed to the bed and leaving him there.

Some fans were enraged by this unwelcome injection of reality into their fantasy, and the scene suffered an online backlash against the two witches failing to meekly accept Geralt's philandering.

In truth, however, it's a great narrative moment that fits perfectly with the personalities of these femmes fatale and with the game's themes of decisions and consequences.

For a studio which once exhibited a less than, uh, sophisticated attitude towards women (CDPR would surely love to forget about the nudie trading cards from the first game), it is encouraging that they stayed true to the essences of their female characters without resorting to lazy fan service.
