Are you saying you’re not looking forward to a batttle Royale Witcher series called Witcher 76? What could possibly go wrong
Sapkowski might be an excellent author, but he's a horrible businessman.

METRO 2033 Author Calls THE WITCHER's Andrzej Sapkowski An "Old Fool" For Suing CDP Red
According to author of the Metro 2033 series Dmitry Glukhovsky, Andrzej Sapkowski, acclaimed creator of The Witcher, is "an ungrateful schmuck" for trying to get more money out of developer CD Projekt Red...Read more

oh yeah it's really some thing the past few month that other authors have been saying how foolish he is as well
those people making the net flix show need to watch out with him as well. Since he's like that. Just saying.He turned down what other writers would gladly accept and use to expand their name out to the world.
He could have made twice the money he gets from netflix etc long ago but he was small minded.
Its a shame that such a guys work has so much success, he as a person really doesnt deserve it.
They could always make a different fantasy game using many of the same gameplay mechanics/game engine with the story and characters entirely different. I wouldn't mind that and would be happy to see Sapkowsky no longer linked in any way.I wonder what the likeliness of CDProject Red doing more Witcher games is these days? Sapkowsky probably ruined any relationship he had with them.

Did he have a relationship with them beyond selling his IP to them?
True, agreed.I would definitely be interested in whatever game they do next, even an original fantasy game. Though as a fan of the Witcher game, and for others fans, it would still be losing out on something great.

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt recently made its way onto the Nintendo Switch but that's not all for the popular fantasy franchise this year as; Netflix's live-action adaptation of The Witcher will be debuting on the streaming service at some point within the remaining months of 2019 — we don't yet know its exact release date.
The series will star Henry Cavill (Justice League) as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra (Wanderlust) as Yennefer, and Freya Allan (Into the Badlands) as Ciri — among others. Thus far, we've gotten one trailer for the Netflix series and a couple of cool images. Speaking, of some new shots recently surfaced online and you can check those out below.
Lauren Hissrich, the showrunner of The Witcher, recently participated in an interview with Corriere in which they spoke about how violent and adult the upcoming show will be. Apparently, the upcoming series will be quite brutal and mature. The showrunner specifically clarifies that Netflix's The Witcher is not suitable for children.
"Very brutal...we are not shy about the adult themes present in the original material. The novels contemplate sexism, racism, and war with a lot of politics. Let's say five-year-olds shouldn't watch it," Hissrich told the Italian site.

I'm surprised the author was willing to cooperate and make a new deal
