My situation is best compared to the Jewish faith, since we're talking about Jesus.
I'm still waiting for your answer.
And if you bothered to google for five seconds straight, you would realize you got your answer.

Bring back Strigas and manticores!
EDIT: After having seen "gameplay" of this new title I'll hard pass on that. Wake me up when a proper game (3rd person action RPG) is made for the series again.

Oh boy.
I LOVE the Witcher books. Brilliant character drama. But man, Sapkowski is one greedy arrogant prick... He made a bad deal and now that CDPR is huge he cries about it?! He probably sold a shit ton of copies of his novels thanks to CDPR! They BOTH profited from the success of the games. They are making a Netflix series he can cash in on now. None of this would have happened without the success of the games and yet he's never had anything but scorn for CDPR for getting all the glory. I mean, I get why he's bitter. I get that it HURTS that most people only know his characters thanks to a "stupid" videogame with watered down versions of his complex characters. Many gamers think Geralt is a womanizing alpha dog and dream about him fucking Ciri! CDPR had Geralt collect sex cards, for Christ's sake!! I sure would be bitter about this gross misrepresentation too. BUT... this is not about misgivings about the creative liberties CDPR took. This is just about money. His own arrogance and greed bit him in the ass when he went for a quick cash out. Don't be such a colossal asshole over your own bad decision, man! I bet he's doing just fine thanks to the success of W3.
Is any of that fair? No. Novels rarely make you rich. Then somebody makes a Hollywood blockbuster and suddenly everybody loves it even though nobody cared about the source material. That's life. Not all art is valued equally. Some of the most gifted writers probably never got published because they weren't mainstream enough to turn a profit. But that deal was legit. And now he's just mad at himself that he didn't go for the percentage offer. Tough luck. We all have to live with bad decisions. I bet if the game tanked, he'd still be laughing about the money he took off CDPR.

No, he fucked himself, and he also admitted it
"They offered me a percentage of their profits. I said, 'No, there will be no profit at all - give me all my money right now! The whole amount. It was stupid. I was stupid enough to leave everything in their hands because I didn't believe in their success. But who could foresee their success? I couldn't."
He made the wrong call, that's it.

Kodus to CDPR for going public asap with it, because it very much sounds like blackmail to me.
If they have anything to hide, they would pay the man instead of calling this crap. They surely can afford to.

If you don't roll the dice with the rest of the team, you can't run back and claim some of their winnings later on.
Hollywood, video games, they're always a lottery but you have to live with your choice. He must've gained a lot from the publicity in book sales at least?

He's whined at times how badly CDPR portrayed some of his characters but I'll bet anything if Netflix royally fucks up the witcher series, he won't care as long as he makes bank. I say that as someone who loves his stories and is thankful they exist but he can be a real dick.
Oh and count me as someone who would not have known about the books if it weren't for CDPR.

Yeah. He made a bad deal because he didn't believe te games would make profit but then Witcher 3 hit huge sales numbers and now with another smaller games being made and a TV series he is getting greedy.

Indeed, if you care about your writing no Netflix translation. Money and greed do.

I still feel kinda bad for him given the crappy track record regarding adaptations of his novels outside of CDPR, and I've heard american publishers are extremely dismissive of European writers. The author of the metro novels had mentioned this. That could explain some of Sappy's cynicism and the late English translations. Up until now he hadn't done anything really dickish, just came off as an awkward curmudgeon type. This whole scenario must be slightly awkward for Netflix.

Im very happy with Ciri and maybe Yen with good make up. Not sure about Fringilla but I'm not bothered about it. I reaaaally want to see who gets to be Dandelion and Zoltan.
