'We'll call you back': BioWare's first impression of The Witcher 1 was a bad demo, followed by CDPR declaring that they wanted to 'create the best RPG game ever'

There's no worse feeling than going into a presentation and only being made aware of how underprepared you are after you've finished. I've felt that pit in my stomach a few times, but knowing that the CEO and studio head of CD Projekt Red has experienced this same kind of nightmare fills me with at least some comfort.

Towards the beginning of The Witcher 1's development, Adam Badowski, CDPR's co-CEO and studio head, alongside other team members, showed a demo to BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk.
