Yeah, generally a good idea, but the guy who wrote the Witcher was kind of an asshole who hates videogames, right?

I don't know the story very well but he sold the rights for super cheap because he thought they would be a dumb failure but then later got butthurt and tried to get more after they were a huge success

Yes but if I am not mistaken he also made a statement that he dislikes all videogames in general. Viewing them as an inferior artform or a passing fad. Not just the Witcher videogames in particular.
