Netflix and video game studio CD Projekt Red have announced a big event that will involve both the TV series and the video game. I'm really curious to see what this might be as there is a huge transmedia potential for this universe. What are your thoughts about this?

Exciting and scary. Exciting because they are working together, which means there is a chance at cohesive stories. Scary because they may be juggling too much at the same time.

I see what you mean, but I think it's a natural course for Netflix as they already have a foot in the video game business, and CD Projekt Red has proven itself as a studio with a knack for great storytelling.

Was tried with Defiance and failed miserably.

True, but that was a few years ago with different studios, and the market wasn't ready yet for a concept like that. This time I'm really curious to see how it will work.
