/v/ - Video Games

Sounds to me like he got more info about what netflix is about to do with his IP and he's getting platinum mad.

That writer is such a sore little bitch. He's been complaining about the video games ever since he himself gave the ok on them. Dum fuck.

Polish businesman.

I really wonder what CDPR thinks about the guy, the love the IP but the author has been a cunt to them for a while.

>>15540001

He was always salty that the then-President of Poland gave King Obango a copy of Witcher 2 Assassin of Kings instead of one of his books, poor retarded pole.

>>15540036

>I really wonder what CDPR thinks about the guy, the love the IP but the author has been a cunt to them for a while.

Dunno, did you know that he never was involved in the creative development of the games? that's why he's signed on to help with Jewflix's Witcher series with Black Ciri.

>>15540039

CDPR's Witcher will be more authentic to the source material than the series, kek

Considering how bad the combat in the first two games were, I wouldn't have expected it to be as successful as it was either.

>>15540037

never read the books, never played the games.

think I own 1 + 2 though.

heard they re good

He should be glad he got his vodka money and unwarranted international attention. CD projects own writers could have written a better story and setting than this perma-drunk hack.

>>15540001

Reminds me of the guy who sold his 10% stake in Apple for $800 except more asspained

>>15540044

The fat lazy fuck was uninterested in the medium, back then he sold the rights for it to make a TV series and a movie that bombed, he really didn't fucking care back then and was just looking to make a quick buck, and he admitted it in an interview with Eurogaymer that also hinted what he was gonna do now. https://archive.is/SitwX

>>15540061

Games can be considered "facfiction" sequels because the series ended with everyone of note dead and Ciri alone, the whole trilogy is an evolution of Polish Eurojunk Game Development, really put Poland right on the map, too bad the entire games are kinda derivative in mechanics and how much polish they are, books are good, there's gonna be grumbles on plagiarism, but they're alright, comics are good though, the originals not the Dark Horse shit.

Sounds like he's just being a little kike bitch.

He signed a contract and CD Projekt didn't break it, I hope he gets shit out of it.

>>15540001

Back to the potato field

>>15540072

My own financially retarded hick parents sold the stock they got from their own company for a few thousand bucks. If they held onto it, it would be worth probably around a million today.

>>15540087

It's a nice thing to witness, fanboys of the Witcher games are gonna choose, between a retarded author who didn't give a shit about his works that he just sold the rights upfront or a very greedy polish company that potentially tried to get him to get a percentage and be on board as a creative consultant, but nah, he needed that money.

>>15540055

Combat in 2 was actually decent. Gameplay in 1 was horrible though, especially all the backtracking, herb gathering and super-tedious combat.

>>15540071

> CD projects own writers could have written a better story and setting than this perma-drunk hack.

So you haven't played witcher 3, hm?

>>15540006

I just want to state that your taste in animu is very kino

Keep up the good work

>>15540091

Honestly, as much as I want to be in CDPRs corner, that sounds like a very fair law if practiced within reason.

>>15540020

>talk shit about CD Project Red

>endlessly praise netflix

Nah, fuck him. Hope he gets nothing and his name is burned for this shit.

>>15540102

I'm guessing they'll go "books are smart, companies are greedy" and side with the fat fuck.

>>15540117

It's gonna be more than that, saw a couple of fucks complain that he should have taken the deal back then, that he was dumb and this is gonna delay Cyberpunk 2077 because he was getting greedy. Gonna be interesting if this lawsuit will go forward or they will settle

>>15540023

This, just a year ago he was stating that he's fine with the few thousands he got, and that he still doesn't consider games to be valuable medium, "hurr durr buy books, not games you silly wanker modern kids!"

Fuck Sapkowski

>>15540125

Seeing the current industry, he's pretty much right

>>15540104

Combat in 2 was poorly done. There are essentially two types of enemies: Those who can block and those who can't. Against those who can't block you can just button mash until they die, but against enemies who are able to block you just roll around all day until you get behind them. And if there's a lot of enemies you're going to spend a lot of time rolling. It forces you to play it safe and win through hit and run tactics because random bandits and soldiers who can block are apparently better swordsmen in straight-up combat than a fucking witcher.

Or you can just make bombs/knives (because apparently your knives can pierce through shields) or use signs and bypass all of that nonsense.

>>15540106

It depends on what parts, thw writing for some side quests and the DLCs is pretty damn good

>>15540126

No, in the monetary handsrubbing sense, he's mentally stuck in era of the c64 pirated cassettes sellers from mid to late 80's.

Also all the mediums today are polluted by political correctness and rabid militant leftism, tv, radio shows, games, books, newspapers, megazines, fucking everything. It's not just games where they push this bullshit down our throats.

>>15540125

He needs money for booze. Addiction is a terrible thing…

>>15540140

I meant in the "valuable medium" aspect

This is a money laundering, social inflated medium because there's nothing about theory and/or quality these days to make it seem coherent

We are in the second or third phase of the video game industry, without the proper documentation or respect to the bases established by the old guns

God hates polacks.

t. half pole

>>15540133

Overall you could just say that sword combat in games is BS. Kingdom come is pretty nice, but still not realistic at all.

>>15540153

I mean he ended in a fist fight with witcher game fans already once, he would fit on the /v/ perfectly since he hates even mentioning video gaemz :^)

>>15540153

So his name is actually Sapkowski? How convenient that someone that sold away his ability to profit from a franchise this successful for 9.5k has a name beginning with "Sap".

>>15540185

>Pay rights for video game

>Get deal for a TV series based on the video game, which is based on a book

Sounds contrived, there might be a case there depending on the wording of the original deal

>>15540200

t. jew

Depends on the deal and its legal limits

I shouldn't be able to squeeze you if i sold all the rights and all the by-products in 3 separate contracts, all signed repeatedly for 5 bucks and a drink

>>15540200

>I don't care about principles and legal precedent at all as long the left gets trolled

Average torpost.

>>15540185

>>15540091

>>15540200

Nah he hasn't really, the idea of that law is to protect authors from being misled and conned by companies that want them to take the up-front payment rather than percentage.

He was given the initial choice of having the percentage, but made a conscious decision to request a one-off payment of an amount that he chose independently.

>>15540039

>that's why he's signed on to help with Jewflix's Witcher series with Black Ciri.

I feel like you're joking but at the same time I don't doubt it at all

>>15540185

>dude this fucking book sucks we just want the rights to produce some quick garbage here is a few hundred

>sell millions

>HAHA SUCKER

Honestly I see nothing wrong with it.

>>15540222

He was offered a percentage of profits and he refused in favor of a single payment. He gambled and he lost.

>>15540222

Yeah but that isn't what happened here. He rejected their offer in a very ungracious way and demanded a very specific up-front payment, he played himself.

kinda reminds me of the two guys who made superman then sold the rights for a couple of coins

that said, wasn't the Witcher itself an Elric ripoff?

>>15540268

>wasn't the Witcher itself an Elric ripoff?

Pretty much. Pretty sure there were a few issues with the law thanks to it too but I can't remember much.

>>15540266

Wasn't there a rumor that Keira was modelled after a trans employee at CDPR?

They're probably leaning towards the left but I doubt they're actually leftists. Way too functional

>>15540219

From what he's said about the series, he feels about it the same as he does about the game, he plans to take the money then ignore what ever the fuck they turn it into.

>>15540274

>rumors

>unfounded hearsay

>>15540282

It wouldn't surprise me if he somehow sees television as a more legitimate medium. Sapkowski himself is left leaning, but I don't know if he leans harder in public for virtue signal points or if he actually is a borderline SJW.

>>15540282

What a fucking retard honestly.

>makes a good probably book

>shits all over his own creation because money

Puts real writers to shame really.

>>15540006

All that vodka has finally rotten his brains.

>>15540289

>but I don't know if he leans harder in public for virtue signal points or if he actually is a borderline SJW.

http://archive.is/bPBGz

kek. he made a poor choice and now he wants in on the money.

>>15540290

He doesn't care for the games because he didn't work on them.

According to him the books and games are their own things.

>>15540321

What offends me is that he just insulted his own creation by selling the rights so cheap.

I would sold it for a percentage and lead the writting team.

>>15540027

Not businessman, writer. Still, he fucked up.

>>15540321

My only thought is that maybe he needed the 10k fast to pay debts or something, a percentage of sales from products yet to be created or released is a lot slower money than "Hey we'll give you 10k now for this."

>>15540207

don't forget

>guys, let's just kill everyone we don't like, right now

>>15540266

le current century joke and le stronk woman in Witcher 3. As far as I know, their twitterfag is a fag, but no sane person uses Twitter.

>>15540321

He's an old fart that hates what he doesn't understand. Movies are the most he can understand and appreciate (maybe). There's also the fact that the only vidya he ever saw was a clone of NES, if that, so he probably thought it was just some stupid television toy and he would get money for doing nothing, so he agreed.

>>15540332

I suppose that's possible. Still though, he most definitely could have gotten more out of it if he sat down and negotiated, even from a one-time payment.

How well did his books sell before CDPR came along?

>>15540346

They were very well known in Poland and to a lesser extent other eastern European countries. They were unkown elsewhere.

The few stories that had been translated back when I read them were pretty good. I still haven't played the game. I hope he gets the money.

>>15540321

>This is multiple layers of retarded. I could understand declining to give them a license if you're still working on projects yourself, but this idiot just sold the rights for a one-time payment and now is salty.

>No one in their right mind, given literally 1 minute to think about this would do what he did. Had their games tanked he'd still probably see more money than his 10k.

What if Sapkowskiberg is a jew and this was part his plan all along? Sue based on a lie, win award + damages + court fees + lawyer fees.

Who's jewing who?

>>15540363

I don't really know whether Geralt was trying to get laid or actually being retarded on those occasions. He's not the most honest character so I just assume that he was trying to get laid.

>>15540364

The short stories are significantly better than the long novels. Honestly you should read a summary of the novels. They drone onward for far too long.

>hope he gets the money

He fucked up. I naturally felt a bit of sympathy for him when I first heard about the deal, but he fucked up.

>>15540368

So he's been playing the psyops game all along?

what a butthurt tard. that much money is so close to him that he can smell it yet he can't touch it. it must be driving him nuts that his own lack of foresight and discipline is keeping him separated from his rightful cash that he doesn't deserve. the polish government better not award this guy money. lessons must be learned and mistakes punished

>>15540368

You don't actually think he's gonna win the case right? CDPR did him no wrong and played by the book, his fault for being so far up his own ass he refused a proper deal twice because he has a hateboner for every kind of medium that isn't his book.

>>15540368

>So he's been playing the psyops game all along?

>>15540391

>You don't actually think he's gonna win the case right?

Well… the guy is from Poland right? Poland == Pale of Settlement. It's the place Catherine the Great dumped all the jews she exiled out of Russia.

Suing for more money than you already received on a deal you personally agreed upon seems extremely hebrew.

I'm claiming the author is a jew, and like all jews if someone else has any shekels that means he doesn't have them all which means (according to the rabbis) he must make every attempt his beak can muster to obtain mass shekels for failing to uphold the one way flow of said shekels from the fuckin goys to the chosen pockets.

>>15540397

>there's always these same slimy little faggots who cry out like a Jew scorned about how CDPR are Leftist SJWs with absolutely ZERO proof and it just burns away at my psyche.

That's kinda the goal I guess

>>15540397

I think you need to get out of your basement more.

>>15540001

Typical textbook example while poles are the fucking niggers of Europe.

Fuck these subhumans. Hitler should have actually genocide them.

>>15540525

>inb4 asshurt Poles

They're fucking white niggers, I live in a town full of them.

>>15540529

Wait, I thought the Irish were the white niggers

>>15540560

Every European but <your favourite nation> is white niggers. Is this your first day on /pol/ or what?

>>15540560

That's a meme Britcucks spam because of asshurt from Irish terrorism, the Poles are far worse. They're always forming gangs and smuggling shit.

They're more like spics than niggers now that I think about it.

>>15540595

>always forming gangs and smuggling shit

Over a century without their own state does some damage to civil spirit of any nation, Poles are not an exception.

I think it's case of perfect karma for plagiarizing the Elric Saga by Michael Moorcock.

>>15540025

>thinking suing others comes even close to getting successfully sued yourself

>>15540001

Hope the leftist shitstain gets nothing. Sapkowshi is a sore cunt that sorely deserved getting fucked over

>>15540006

CDPro was small time then. Hell Witcher 1 was a cult game.

Still you never sign away all your rights.

>>15540071

Kinda agree. Read my fair share of fantasy over 20 years and honestly Witcher isn't really good.

Maybe people like it because its not 5000 pages? Its easy to digest. Written fluidly.

>>15540629

Does Elric kill monsters for food?

>>15540321

CD Projekt back then was video game publisher for eastern Europe and they had zero experience with making their own games. There was no guarantee that the game would be even remotely successful beyond some niche Polish fanbase. It was a gamble: get a few thousand Euros upfront and have the money in your pocket, or hope that the game becomes a worldwide phenomenon.

>>15540277

He is oppose the netflix series, but nice try Goldsteain!

>>15540321

10k eurobucks is a lot of money in Poland. It's more than many make in a whole year.

He took almost no risk selling the license to his plagiarized books no one cared about and now he's regretting not selling it for more. Fuck him.

>>15540116

And the only reason he's getting money from netflix is because of the popularity of the games.

CDPR built their success on the ideas of a guy they paid 10k? I can't imagine they feel good about that. Taking them to court is retarded, just ask them for money.

>>15540113

>>15540200

>take no risk and reap all the reward

This is your mind on Sanders Socialism. Also TOR is more verifiable leftist than CDPR

Good. CPDR is cancer.

>>15540595

>That's a meme Britcucks spam

Except it comes from Germany

>>15540560

The Irish got lead poisoning from British water pipes, any nigger tendencies are because of fatal levels of said poisoning.

>>15541000

That would make sense, if the Irish regularly washed themselves and drank tap water instead of malt rinsing water.

>>15540636

>implying he has even a snowball's chance in hell of winning

To everyone saying he can't win:

Be aware of bullshit if he does win

Because of the nature of this, people might try to use the case to subvert po

>>15541292

They had initially offered him royalties based on sales too which it more hilarious.

>>15540267

Sapkowiski is an old school leftist. His ideas appear right-wingish simply becouse the West so far gone. He hated the Witcher fanbase before and now he hates it even more after the games brought new people in. His books were always a cautionary tale about why Poland and Poles are shit. In his universe the Northern Kingdoms (Poland) borders a more tolerant and way more progressive neighbour, the Nilfgaardian Empire (Germany / the EU). Nordlings (Poles) are constantly at war with one another (Poland during the XIII century when it was split between several principalities fighting over who gets the crown. Even Witcher starts around the 1260s). Nordlings (Poles) hate outsiders and foreigners especially dwarves (Jews) and elves (faggots). People here fell in love with the setting because it felt so familiar to thrm but Sapkowski wanted to mock Poles in general. As an leftist he was horrified due to the resurgence of the Polish nationalism in the 90s and his work reflect that.

Wasn't he supposed to be some kind of economy expert?

Also when I have an IP which already is runing dry (his books) but made me a good buck, I rather take the chance with a precentage than a downpayment, especially since is reasonable to assume that my books will get a second wind.

>>15540091

Would that apply even when they offered him more and he declined?

>>15540113

Are you a Nigger? Its a gibz me that law. see >>15540185 and >>15540242

>>15540332

Then why not both, a precentage with an upfront payment of 10k.

>>15540368

Well shit, a real jew afterall.

>>15541391

He's doing this with the expectation of a settlement. CDPR won't bother fighting it and will throw him a million or two. He's timing it with the impending release of cyperpunk because he knows they'll be strapped for cash during crunch time and the marketing spree. If he's not a Jew then very familiar with their tactics.

The books fucking suck ass too.

>>15541344

>As an leftist he was horrified due to the resurgence of the Polish nationalism

how disappointing, oh well, I guess I'm not going to waste my time with those books, btw how many 'asylum seekers' this leftist shit is willing to take to his home?

Poland is filled with irrational christcuck skydaddy worshipers.

CZECH is a much cooler place, Atheist majority, Drugs, guns, prostitution. These are people who need to make more games.

Not fucking xitians

>>15541435

His short stories are still pretty good. They aren't political in any sense. Just a darker spin on various fantasy tropes and legends. Sapkowiski has no talent for writing longer novels thou. His books are just boring and Geralt is relegated to being a sidekick and errand boy for the sorceresses. Ciri is the star of the show. Books have their moments but I don't think they're worth it.

>>15541173

>game about perpetually drunk, genocidal, sexist moonshiner, terrorist, amateur exorcist fighting flammable ghosts, vampire clans, resurrected Russian communists, cannibal half-apes and obstructive policemen

>>15540595

what, the irish were considered niggers long before all that happened. the irish were the original niggers in the usa and their niggerisms are still being felt today. all irish are dumb shits. how do you starve to death when you're surrounded by an ocean full of fish?

>>15541443

Then why dont they? Maybe cause the talented chechs die in drug fueled shootouts over a whore

He's as sjw as polish person can be btw.

>>15541539

It's funny to me when I think about how so many Europeans owe their being alive to the potato, a crop developed by Peruvians. I think you can blame the decline of the West and the Industrial Revolution on the potato as well and from there the downfall of the world. Just too many babies too quickly, leading to mob rule.

>>15541526

from the place that nobody but us calls Central Europe

>>15541565

you could actually punish them though and the niggers were better off as slaves and having real direction. the irish nigger catholics did far more damage to the usa than niggers did

>>15540560

>>15541539

>>15541565

I thought the Italians were the ones considered white niggers, because they had a habit of grouping up in gangs and getting into gunfights with the potato nigger cops.

>>15541602

the irish were the first ones to do this, then came the italians who replaced them even though the irish still remained niggers. both of them are the same type of animal. really though the biggest issue is that they were catholics. the usa was founded on protestant thought stemming from england and the magna carta. we then get all these catholic immigrants who think their faggot church supersedes the bill of rights and refuse to integrate into a protestant society. fuck the the irish and fuck italians

>>15541565

There were Irish slaves in America before the transatlantic slave trade

>>15540200

Typical TORpedo.

>>15541624

Protestantism is a good case for the decline beginning before the potato, since it was also a system built on using peasants to attack their betters from resentment in order to gain power for those who sometimes had no right bearing it. Not that the Catholics were good, they were obviously corrupt, but history is full of people building a great evil to destroy a lesser one and we can see the consequences in the atheistic nihilism and hedonism prevalent today.

>>15541640

Not really. CDPR offered him another chance for royalties and to renegotiate the contract several times as The Witcher was gaining popularity and he still said no. He's arguing he's owed royalties and CDPR robbed him with malicious intent, but the evidence plainly shows they went out of their way to try and give him the royalties but he kept refusing. That's what will fuck him in court.

>>15541669

kill yourself, retard. you monarchist cucks are the same as communists and deserve a bullet in your dumb fucking head as well

>>15541443

>>15541537

If you want a game made by hedonistic fedoras, then there's San Francisco, NY, and Toronto. Enjoy your shitty gay (((diverse))) turds with lootboxes.

>>15541681

In the part of the law quoted it doesn't say being offered money and refusing it forces the author to give up renegotiation.

>>15540216

>Nah he hasn't really, the idea of that law is to protect authors from being misled and conned by companies that want them to take the up-front payment rather than percentage.

and then

>He was given the initial choice of having the percentage, but made a conscious decision to request a one-off payment of an amount that he chose independently.

>Article 44 of Poland’s Act on Copyright and Related Rights, which states "In the event of gross discrepancy between the remuneration of the author and the benefits of the acquirer of the author's economic rights or the licensee, the author may request the court for a due increase of his/her remuneration."

<In the event of gross discrepancy between the remuneration of the author and the benefits of the acquirer of the author's economic rights or the licensee, the author may request the court for a due increase of his/her remuneration.

You're a retard. The law makes no mention of misleading statements.

You're so retarded that you would side with those who redefine words to change law.

>>15541682

Keep railing against those innate hierarchies and throwing babies away, anon, and tell yourself you aren't cut from the same cloth as commies at your heart, just with differences in technique. Rebellion and obedience are both necessary, yet worshiping the former leads you right to where we are today, with an overwhelming interest in the twin rational delusions of humanism and egalitarianism which directly breed ideologies like communism since they based on a false conception of human nature.

>>15541698

CDPR had no real knowledge the series would ever be this successful. it was a shot in the dark. A gamble for both parties involved. CDPR almost went out of business during the development of Witcher 1. Later on, CDPR wanted to give Sapkowski the royalties he wanted. He refused. Several times. In the end the judge will decide but I don't think Sapkowski has a strong case here.

The funny thing is the books are shit and full of cuck shit. Almost everyone women in them is a vapid cock gargling bitch.

>>15541344

Sapkowski is drunk and yes a leftist. he fucking lost it and last short story book is absolute trash

CDPR is not innocent they scam taxes by offshoring profits to Cyprus while they transform the company into another western corpo.

>>15540770

Sapkowski literally did the Polish Translation of the Elric books and basically plagiarized the main character , his nickname 'white wolf' and the love interest Yennefer archetype from it.

>>15541677

He's a leftist elitist prick who scorns video games since he thinks reading trash like his novels is what makes one intelligent, never thinking that intelligent people can have multiple interests in various mediums. Of course he won't admit any personal fault and instead seeks to steal what he willfully threw away, I bet his resentment over the success of the games eclipsing his work while also probably providing him income through increased book sales has been eating his stomach for years.

>>15540001

What a fucking jew

>>15540071

>CD projects own writers could have written a better story and setting than this perma-drunk hack.

This is true, Sapkowski's writings would never be popular if not for the games, he isn't even that good. His Witcher stories, not the actual novels are okay though

>>15541759

>Video Games were a huge industry, even back then. Even if he didn't think much of it, the asshole should have done his homework. I'd say he doesn't deserve a penny, due to gross negligence. If CDPR were trying to screw him over by misdirecting him, that'd be one thing - but there's no evidence I've seen that suggests they were anything but above board on the matter.

Basically this. He mad a business deal without putting in any effort and wants the best possible rewards for it. It's not like this is a moment where some huge international corporations "polietly asks" for you to sell your patent and storms into your living room with a team of well paid intimidating lawyers or some shit.

The entire series is about a cuckold.

>>15541779

CDPR isn't innocent ,but by what everyone is saying and looking at the shit with deal. I can say Sapkowski really doesn't have much to stand on, especially if if the sayings of CDPR trying to give him royalties and him rejecting are true.

>>15541856

>The Polish game industry was nonexistent. CD Projekt had some good experience under their belt as a publisher but none as a developer. It wasn't too crazy to assume it'd be a fucking failure.

Yes, but still he made a bad deal and got fucked for not thinking long term on the chance it was a failure.

>>15542046

sorry for my English, on the chance it wasn't a failure.

>>15540037

>President of Poland gave a game about assassinating world leaders to Obongo.

Gold.

>>15540006

He's a dumb, elitist boomer who thinks that books and film are inherently more sophisticated than vidya, just like every other critic journos were fawning over in the 00s while trying to prove that games could be like Hollywood and ((nodding respectfully)) when their 50+ idol told them that they "just don't get it." Not that I give a fuck about games being sophisticated but I just look down my nose at these old irrelevant fucks attempting to appear relevant by throwi g shade on things they know nothing about.

The Witcher author strikes me as the type of egotistical dope that stumbled his way to success and belatedly tries to capitalize on it, poorly.

>>15540073

The books themselves are odd to read. They are written like bard's tales; 3rd person accounts of events that have been passed along and aren't really accurate; so people are dead and then they aren't etc. The only one I really liked was The Last Wish. The others just don't really seem complete.

>>15542038

His love interest fucks other people. He is a cuck in the literal sense of the word.

>>15541046

They became drunks AFTER the lead poisoning.

>>15542046

well people posted Polish law and he is in right though

I have no sympathy for this man. He had his chance and turned it down. He should also be thanking CD Project for bringing a worldwide audience to his books.

>>15540113

It is unfair by definition. An agreement was made and the terms were agreed upon. Retroactively changing the terms to be more advantageous to yourself punishes businesses for success and offers them no way to recoup their costs of failure. You essentially draw what may be millions of dollars out of the account of the business while they have potentially hundreds of employees and multiple projects to deal with. That money has to come from somewhere, so it can easily over-leverage a developer into either rushing a product out the door or having to take an expensive loan from (((the usual suspects))). It is the inverse of fairness.

>>15542281

Depends how the law is applied. If judges misuse it, it can be unfair, if not, it isn't. Don't forget businesses know the law is there, it doesn't come as a surprise. If it's unfairly applied (like forcing everyone into court or to pay a fortune) it's can do a lot of damage though.

>>15540006

Pretty much.

This shit's like complaining that the store that sells a winning lottery ticket should get a cut of the winnings.

>>15542292

>Depends how the law is applied. If judges misuse it, it can be unfair, if not, it isn't

I fundamentally disagree. It is unfair by nature. There is no application of it to which it can be fair. I believe in personal responsibility and by no means does it look like CDPR was trying to fuck him over. They knocked it out of the park on an IP they licensed for cheap at his own judgement. If he wants better, he should negotiate better terms in the future. Retroactively changing an agreement commensurate to if it is successful or not is the most Jewish fucking thing on the planet.

>>15540321

CD project also offered him a percentage of the sales AFTER the games were a success and he told them to fuck off.

>>15542292

"you can change the terms of agreements you make if you discover you'd be better off with them in hindsight" is fucking unfair though, because it unfairly shits on people like CDPR who are actually willing to risk their resources on, say, a Witcher video game series, just to benefit people who lack either the foresight or the balls to take those risks themselves.

>(((((((((((((((NETFLIX ADAPTATION)))))))))))))))

>>15540113

> that sounds like a very fair law

In what fucking universe? This is just wanting to change the rules of your agreement once you realize you could have made more money. You make a deal and that's it, you can't then years later say "Oh yeah by the way, since you've been making so much money on your works that I had nothing to do with except give you a license for I want a bigger slice of that fat pie. Because reasons."

One of the few occasions where I'd actually defend a company.

>>15542374

What the fuck was his problem?

>>15542343

He sold to what was then a no-name company (outside Poland at least), but were it EA who approached him would he have sold for cheap or more? What if EA created a company just to buy the rights, hiding their ownership? In that last case forcing them to pay more wouldn't be unfair IMO, and Apple for instance does things like that (which isn't illegal).

>>15542390

He's a bitter salty cunt

>>15542397

I don't see how that would make a difference.

>>15542377

Yes, depends how the law is applied. If they make CDPR pay him millions for example it's bullshit since they seem to have presented things fairly to him and he was aware of all the risks (unknown company, making yet another RPG with unknown IP, etc).

>>15542397

What you're describing sounds to me more like it should (regardless of the fact that it probably isn't) legally be considered a form of fraud. It doesn't really speak to the language of the law because what you're describing isn't about the discrepancy in economic advantage from the licensing, but rather the size of the pockets of the purchaser being fraudulently represented during negotiations, which is a much more serious concern.

In fact, any case where the capital involved in doing a project exceed what one person could reasonably finance is going to have disparate outcomes in terms of profit, if it isn't a flop or the company that licenses the property gets fucked over. It's just a terribly and unjustly written law.

>>15540153

Polite sage for double post.

I actually read one of the books. It's absolutely god awful and sub-Harry Potter tier. Honestly CDPR really managed to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. I wonder how good the games would have been if they'd picked better source material.

>>15541779

Taxation is theft.

>>15542797

>>15542926

Harold Bloom's jewish spergouts aside Harry Potter at least has a legitimate sense of wonder to it. I can't even remember the name of the Witcher book I read since it was ages ago and I bought it after playing the first game. It's not bad in the sense you can grab one part of the book and say "this is what's wrong with it", it's just dull and unimpressive. Prose-wise it's standard young adult fantasy trash distinguished only by how much the author overestimates it and how much polacks overrate it. I guarantee that not a single passage in the book will dazzle you, it has no outstanding sequences or anything that will stay in your mind after you put it down. It's simply a perfectly functional, utterly disposable fantasy series. I've read erotic fanfiction that's superior to The Witcher books both in terms of prose and emotion.

>>15540321

cdpr are greedy kikes

Reposting this from elsewhere:

"As a Polish attorney, not specialized in copyright as I may be, I'd say that Sapkowski has good shot at winning some money. CDPR has some arguments to reduce the amount. For one, there is the question of how much of their profits was due to the copyright to the Witcher franchise and how much due to their own work. And given that books were pretty much unknown outside of Eastern Europe it might be argued that the license itself was only responsible for fraction of the profits. Also, the court has discretion in ascertaining what is the author's due remuneration. Given that games pretty much opened a giant, new maket for the books - introducing the Witcher to English speaking audience, and indirectly allowed Sapkowski to get a caontract with Netflix, it is possible to argue that Sapkowski has indirectly profitted from the games.

Given the narrow scope of the quick research into the article 44 that I did, the chance court will acknowledge the merit of the case seems rather high, but the due remuneration is pretty much in the air."

>>15540001

Fuck this piece of shit and anyone sympathizing with him. CD Projeckt's Witcher is vastly divorced from his source material to the point where witcher "book purists" sound like they're talking about a completely different game. He just wants money and doesn't care how pozzed the gayflix series will be and wants CD Projekt to give him money for being a leftist.

>>15540152

we're the christ of nations kys mongrel

>>15540006

Supposedly, CDPR tried to renegotiate the contract and give him a bonus. Dude was too proud to accept and told them and the fans that'd come from the game to fuck off.

>>15543978

Like many laws, the core idea isn't so bad because the whole point of copyright is primarily meant to encourage the spread of works- if an author knows that he can't get jewed by a bad contract, he'll be more likely to let other people use his work. Unfortunately, the law relies entirely on the court not being run by a dumbass judge (good luck with that) since it doesn't seem to offer any guidance beyond "a due increase". Might as well say "play nice with each other" for all the good that phrase will do.

>>15544023

>Far superior Michael Moorcock should sue his fucking ass now that we’re at it.

He's a different type of asshole altogether, but he already got burnt out from suing Games Workshop, so no chances of him attempting to do that shit to his polish clone.

>>15544023

> Disgusting. The law around the world should stop protecting authors so much, specially from their own incompetence.

I agree with the intent of the law, which is to say that creators should get a sufficient cut of the income from their licensed work, but Sapkowski specifically turned down royalties and took a lump-sum payment, so that should count against him, because I'm sure if no game had come from the license he certainly wouldn't have handed the money back.

And I'm doubly certain that the games made his books sell even better, so he got a fuck ton in increased revenue from royalties from that alone.

Any judge worth his salt would look at those two points and deduct royalties accrued from his books due to the success of the games, and the fact he took the lump sum instead.

>His US publishers decided to market his novels by emphasizing the ties to the game in a way that made it look like they were a shitty novel tie-in to a popular videogame franchise, instead of being good novels on their own, so as a result both his reputation and his novels' appeal was fucking ruined (Oh, another videogame tie-in book, pass.) and he looks like a shitty videogame novelist for it. There's an argument to be had that despite the popularity of the franchise overall he himself hasn't particularly benefited in terms of novel sales, esp. when comparing how well his novels are doing now vs how well they would've done if they were actually sold on their own strength as novels instead of looking like shitty cash-in videogame fiction.

This has nothing to do with CDPR though. He should go sue his American publisher if he's that salty about it.

>He might even be able to add reputational damage

This is getting into top jew territory, holy shit.

>and how this made his novels look like shitty tie-ins and him look like a shitty videogame writer.

This somewhat speaks of the true nature of his skill as a writer, does it not? "Sorry we made our games more successful than your books, bro, guess we should get punished for that."

If CDPR are still willing to settle it out of court, which they might choose to because it'd be a good move for their reputation, then they are more graceful than most companies would have been given the circumstances.

Bottom line is he made a deal and instead of taking a calculated risk he opted for an easy expedient payout up front. I could even somewhat sympathize with mentioned article 44, but his decisions and his arrogant dismissal of further compensation (up til now) should be enough grounds to tell him to fuck off purely on principle.

I feel weird actually defending a company, but this is already a weird fucking timeline anyway. Hope he enjoys his cucked netflix series.

>>15544103

>This has nothing to do with CDPR though. He should go sue his American publisher if he's that salty about it.

It has to do with CDPR burying the fact that their games were based on Sapkowski's book series in fine print somewhere. His publisher also deserves blame though, that is certainly true.

>This is getting into top jew territory, holy shit.

He'd have a basis for it, honestly. I just don't know how much court cares about reputational damage, but it gives him solid pushback against any CDPR claims about how good they made his books look and how that somehow translated into net benefit to the creator and thus constitutes a form of indirect compensation.

>This somewhat speaks of the true nature of his skill as a writer, does it not? "Sorry we made our games more successful than your books, bro, guess we should get punished for that."

No, it speaks of popular perception. If Lord of the Rings weren't blatantly obvious in being based on Tolkien's writings and then sold as if they were movie shit, idiots would assume they were movie tie-in novels too. Tolkien has the advantage of extremely strong recognition in the English-speaking fantasy fiction though and that the movies were much more blatant about being based on a book series. Sapkowski's writings were straight Polish and a virtual unknown in the English-speaking world. The games then de-emphasized that they were based on a book series, which was likely a marketing move to avoid discouraging from English speakers who hadn't read the books (which is almost everyone outside Poland).

>Bottom line is he made a deal and instead of taking a calculated risk he opted for an easy expedient payout up front. I could even somewhat sympathize with mentioned article 44, but his decisions and his arrogant dismissal of further compensation (up til now) should be enough grounds to tell him to fuck off purely on principle.

>dismissal of further compensation

Yeah, I'm still not seeing any sources for that. Curious thing, that. Evidence or GTFO.

>I feel weird actually defending a company, but this is already a weird fucking timeline anyway. Hope he enjoys his cucked netflix series.

I'm not a fan of Sapkowski myself, but I do think he took a raw deal and it seems under Polish law he does indeed have a right to demand better compensation for it.

>>15546940

Look your sense of idealism and sense of right and wrong don't apply in a court of law. Not only are you naive, but you clearly don't know the history of cases of this nature.

9 times out of 10, a case like this will go in favor of the plaintiff. A judge might actually award him the $16 million and then some. Settling for 6% is the easiest way to resolve this, whereas they'll have an uphill court battle if they fight it (which they already said they don't want to outright fight it). They'll have to prove not only that they did not knowingly withhold the information of just how much money could have been made, but that they didn't make every effort to explain to him that the IP would make the money it did. More than likely they didn't do that. He asked for a lump sum because he thought the IP would fail, it was their responsibility (under the law) to give him a reasonable expectation of just how much money he stood to gain. They probably didn't do that, so now they'll have to defend the fact that they did not do that. It will probably also be seen as unfair that they took one payment, and paid him nothing for the other two (three?) games in the franchise, and they'll have to defend that.

Most likely they will settle on the 6% royalties and residuals, because not doing so could cost them far more.

>>15546945

I'd like to see you cite the polish law that claims this horseshit, but beyond that there is no way in hell the company could have reasonably estimated the success of the first game, let alone the future games. Hell, did the first one even sell that well? The second one is the one that started to get mainstream recognition.

Hindsight is 20/20, he can't claim the devs knew in advance they would be able to be as successful as they were.

At this point, no they can't just tell him to fly a kite because he's filed a lawsuit. Now they have to either settle with him, or fight him in court. Fighting him in court can be an expensive process, settling with him can be an expensive process. Losing to him will be the most expensive process should that come to pass.

Even if they don't give him the 6%, they will most likely settle with him. Lawsuits like this typically go for protracted periods, and can be very expensive. Hiring legal firms to represent you in cases like this can be very costly very quickly.

They might grant a retroactive increase of the buyout, but I doubt the court will force the contract to be renegotiated.

This. Most of the commies in post-eastern block countries simply switched colours and pretended they only joined them because they had to and similar bullshit.

In fact, and this is quite funny, the "official" communist party is usually actually against the EU, and serve as a great way for all the neo-marxists to claim that if you're anti-EU, you're a commie.

This. Despite /pol/'s bitching he's fully into having diversity, trans/LGBT representation in The Witcher.

If you think Marxism in theory has anything at all to do with Marxism in practice, then you're the one who needs to pull their head out of their ass.

Who said anything about socialism xir.

>>15566714

>/liberty/, /leftpol/, /leftypol/, and /fascism/

>Only political boards make serious political remarks why aren't you like that

Did it seriously not hit you that the list you just made perhaps had a reason behind it?

>>15566773

Oh I see so communist china and the ussr never happened I see. Tens of millions of people were forced to work for nothing and starved to death, I guess that never happened because anon thinks its impossible based of the theories xer (((gender studies professor))) told xer about.

Red herring fallacy and ad hominem. Look it up, this is why I tell you not to reply to me because your arguments are flawed and I don’t want to debate with you and your fallacies.

I was going to go through the trouble of finding factual cited sources showing that famine was already common in China and Russia throughout history along with historical explanation for starvation besides socialism=food magically goes away but now that I think about it why should I reply to an argument that is a fallacy? No point. Plus you are too set into your safe-space to change your ways. I’m not even a socialist and I know more combined than the entirety of /v/ about it. Fucking hell. And as for

>>15566770

/v/ brings up politics constantly, both economic and identity politics, so that is false. Count how many times somebody brings up Jews, liberals, socialists, etc. for example. Seems like you guys are plenty involved not to mention the fact the majority of /v/ posters are also /pol/ posters.

The idea of my ideology being preposterous is so flawed that I refuse to even provide and kind of evidence that I am right and am just going to talk down at you from the facade of my lofty ivory tower (when in reality its the basement of a sublet apartment surrounded by junkfood booze and drugs purchased from call center wages and welfare) In my experience people like you are always like that.

>>15566846

The 32/33 famine was caused by Soviet/Communist policy as it was due to the forced collectivization of the land and the killing of the people who knew and understood how to grow food, it wasn't just "we had bad weather" it was "we killed everyone who knew what they were doing, banned certain sciences that helped grow food and gave all the land to people who had never worked in a field before as well as taking any food they had at gun point to spread out to the rest of the union"

>Sounds to me like he got more info about what netflix is about to do with his IP and he's getting platinum mad.

I heard that he is actually praising Netflix.

>poles are kike cousins

Sounds about right. Mexicans of Europe.

Hello cuckchan.

You're trying too hard to fit in.

All fantasy nowadays is a rip-off.

>>15584444 (Checked)

I can't think of any fantasy that isn't directly based on Lord of the Rings with elves, dwarves, goblins, and magic and shit.

Taking world building elements is one thing. Ripping off the main character and several others from the book is another.

Well, he differentiated it by projecting his sex fantasies all over the books I guess.
