The co-founder is definitely referring to the Gwent standalone game. I played it when open beta came out but it steadily went downhill from there until they eventually stopped working on it in 2023.

Funny because I stray away from anything that associates itself with AAA

Well, The Witcher 1 and 2 weren't open world, and those turned out pretty well, especially 2. There's something to be said about what a game from them might gain by doing more in a smaller world.

CDPR's open worlds are cardboard props to the stories.

When Witcher 3 came out I was hesitant at first remembering my bad experience with 2, but I loved it so much.

TW3's open world was boring and terrible in every way
