| St0rmFury 10/03/18 9:49:48 PM #29: | Sapkowski probably still felt the sting from The Hexer flopping when CDPR approached him and decided it's better to take the cash upfront than royalties. I heard the movie & TV series didn't make much profit, probably less than what CDPR paid him for the rights. I mean honestly, if I know nuts about gaming, I'd not have much faith in The Witcher's (game) success too. It took CDPR almost a decade to turn The Witcher into what it is today. Seriously, how many people has that kind of hindsight? I would have probably made the same decision if I was at his age when CDPR came knocking. That being said, it was CDPR's efforts which made The Witcher famous worldwide today and they deserve credit for that. But the deal was done/signed/inked 10 years ago and both parties agreed with an upfront payment. Sapkowski is well within his rights to sue, but I hope him & CDPR can settle things amicably. PS: He is getting paid in royalties for the netflix series, right? --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion. "Overachieving" is also an opinion. - SBAllen (Hellhole: 52458377) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
