Wccftech states the Polish developer will offer the author further compensation in order to preserve an amicable working relationship, but the number, of course, won’t be anywhere near the $16 million which the author requested.
It all started with Sapkowski agreeing to sell the rights to the book series to CD Projekt back in 1997. He turned down a profit-sharing deal in favor of a cash deal because he didn’t think the games would be such success.
“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’,” said later Sapkowski. “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.”
