As the WGA strike continues and writers keep fighting for their rights, the definition of what counts as breaking guild rules still appears to have some grey area. Javier Grillo-Marxuach, a guild member who writes for The Witcher, recently deleted posts about the show soon after posting them.
“Today I was accused of scabbing for posting about, and showing the title card and promo for #TheWitcher – which I did of my own volition and not at the request of my corporate overlords – and for engaging with fans of the show,” he said. “While my actions are completely within the guild’s strike rules as you can see below, I can also understand how they can offend others and appear as a lapse in solidarity … so I’m taking my posts down. I am not doing this to admit fault or by way of apology but to make sure that my loyalty to the guild and commitment to the strike are without question.”

According to the rules, writers are not allowed to promote projects at the request of a company, but guild rules currently state “it is not a violation to talk about your projects on your own accord on your own social media.”
The Witcher is currently available to steam on Netflix.
