I think you're giving him too much credit. He absolutely does understand the medium, he just trash talks it. CDPR wanted to give him a percentage royalty, but he demanded a lump fee up front. Then the game was successful and he had egg on his face. Ever since, he's claimed that the games had nothing to do with the success of the franchise.
Which is hilarious, because when 99% of people are talking about the Witcher, they do not connect him or his novels with it at all.
