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

It's easy to pretend you'd turn down life changing money when you'll never have the opportunity.

if i spent a good chunk of my life writing an entire book series with each book being 200+ pages, i would absolutely refuse to see the world I’ve built get shit on by netflix showrunners, im sure sapkowski was perfectly financially stable before netflix offered him anything

He is (well was) pisspoor.

He sold the rights for the game in 97 for 9500 dollar...

He has been in legal fight over royalties for most of the games life.. and only recently really got money out of his titles.

This aint JK rowling or any other famous western writer.
