On a personal level, yeah, I'd go ahead and offer him like 1 or 2%, the 6% he is asking for is just too much since he is the one that made the mistake (I mean how did he seriously think that $9,500 in cash was more valuable than a percentage back then?), or offer him stock in CD Projekt at least, so he can make some money off of their future endeavors (they stand to make alot of money from Cyberpunk and Witcher 4, GOG.com, etc.). But business is business, CD Projekt may decide that the money is better spent developing future games rather than just giving it away to him. 

They shouldn't give him a penny. Him being a dumbass isn't their fault or problem. If somebody sold you a car for $500 and then a few years later came back asking for another $2k for the car they already sold you you'd just laugh at them and tell them to fuck off, CDPR should do the same.

He should have either made sure royalties were part of the initial deal, or at the very least made it only valid for a limited time, so if the games were succesful then CDPR would eventually have to re-negotiate to continue making them and then he could get more money or a cut of future sales. He screwed up though.

His lawyer says he only sold rights for one game, also does a car classify as an intellectual property?
