I'm dubious of that claim personally. If that was true, he would have sued them when they announced Witcher 2 without his permission. But yeah, I agree that CDP should try and settle this amicably, if they let this go to court and he wins back the game rights from them, it kills our chances of Witcher 4, which would leave me gutted, I need Witcher 4 with Ciri as the main character so badly. 

I think the author should get a percentage and let them make W4. The author will make more money that way. It will probably even sell better than the 3rd.

He should get nothing. It's his fault he agreed to something. When you make a mistake you get to learn from it. You don't get to make the law undo that mistake 20 years later. CD should send him a cheque for 1 cent to rub it in, because this man is acting in a reprehensible way trying to rip them off. He even admits it.
