Im Spielekeller is a German-language, audio-only podcast that takes its time with its guests — which is exactly what this topic needed. The episode is entirely in German; the framing here is in English so you can decide whether to press play.

We talked about what it's actually like to do community work at CD PROJEKT RED across The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 — the scale, the emotional load, and the mental health side of a job that lives permanently in other people's inboxes. It's an honest one: what breaks first, what protects you, and what I wish someone had told me earlier.

There's no video. Audio links are below.
