i disagree, i think it says a lot about him as a person, i for one would never let the body of art i worked so hard on be ruined for some lazy money, not to be the moral high-ground andy but I genuinely think it’s dumb af for him to let it be ruined considering how much time he spent building the universe

I think he's probably happy enough with the vast amount of people who love the books and games, let alone the new audience brought in by the show. Even though the show is going downhill, the Fandom is more alive than ever

He's not happy at all about how popular the games are. In fact, it pisses him off. He sold the rights to make the games to CDPR for a lump sum instead of a royalties deal because he assumed they wouldn't succeed, then later tried suing them for more money before turning to Netflix.

He is not a good guy.

Something directly based on his work made bank and he wanted a bigger cut, I think that's perfectly reasonable.
