    they’ve probably earned him more than a couple of dollars, too, just from people wanting to read the source material.

    and I doubt there would have been a Netflix series without the games.

      Exactly, which is why I don’t understand disliking the games and being salty over a poor financial choice. Especially after CDPR gave him extra money after the success of the series

        Yes, he is definitely salty about not taking the royalties and being made to look a fool because he chose poorly. I think he is also extremely salty that the thing he thought would amount to much is 1000x more successful than his own creation. His books are more successful now thanks to the games, but that’s just pouring salt in the wound for him.
