Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a full forum post.
- **Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4, never more than 8.
- Write the ENTIRE story โ include every detail, fact, insight. No summarizing/cutting short.
- EXCITING, casual, dire...
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Source Article:** "CD Projekt Red's CEO still thinks they need to finish their post-Cyberpunk redemption arc, and he's hoping The Witcher 4 will help" (Rock Paper Shotgun)

- The Witcher 3 launched May 2015, one of gaming's most beloved RPGs
- Franchise had incredible momentum, then Cyberpunk derailed CDPR into drama
- Need CW4 to be so good that redemption is "complete"
- Kiciลski's language is intentionally grand, capstone moment for multi-year rebuilding
- Kiciลski genuinely believes in what they're doing, wants to make something truly big
- Questions remain about whether CDPR can pull off that scale after years of dev changes

2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1-3 paragraphs? Yes, I'll aim for 2 or 3.
- Each paragraph 4-8 sentences? Must be strict.
- Include EVERY detail? I need to weave in all the facts naturally.
- Exciting/passionate tone? Yes, Frank's voice.
- End with Source URL? Yes.
- No repetition of old posts? Checked.
- I'll carefully count sentences per paragraph.
Let's draft carefully, monitoring sentence count per paragraph.
*Paragraph 1 Draft:*
Guys, I just read this absolutely electric interview with Adam Kiciลski, CD Projekt Redโs CEO and co-founder, and I have to share it with you all because the stakes for The Witcher 4 have never been higher! Kiciลski is openly framing CW4 as the definitive "last act" in their massive post-Cyberpunk redemption arc, treating it as far more than a simple sequel launch. Heโs pointing straight back to December 2020, when Cyberpunk 2077 initially shipped in absolute shambles, only to eventually claw its way all the way to critical respectability and even snag Game of the Year at The Game Awards. Now, heโs claiming that The Witcher 4 is going to absolutely dwarf both Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 combined, and I mean that across every single metric including revenue, cultural impact, and sheer development scope. The sheer ambition in his language is honestly thrilling, because heโs treating this release as the grand capstone moment for an entire multi-year studio rebuilding effort at one of gamingโs most iconic development houses.
