Geralt congratulates Henry

Of course, the head of Warhorse Studios, Daniel Vavra, is pleased with the success of the game. By the way, he mocked some people who believed that the very positive reviews of the game published by industry media weren't credible and that those given by the players themselves would be worse.

The success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was also congratulated by other developers, including CD Projekt RED, GSC Game World, 11 bit studios, Bohemia Interactive, and Chris Avellone. CDPR even prepared a cool picture by Anna Przybylska featuring Geralt and Henry.

Not everyone liked the success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. There aren't enough malcontents to significantly impact the game's reception on Steam, but they do effectively disrupt communication on the KDC2 forum on this platform. Right now, the forum is full of threads complaining about the inclusion of a black character in the game or the presence of optional homosexual romances.
