He was given the option of either a lump sum or a percentage of game sales. He thought video games were a passing fad and took the lump sum. Then he got pissed because the games were super successful.

Yes, he is definitely salty about not taking the royalties and being made to look a fool because he chose poorly. I think he is also extremely salty that the thing he thought would amount to much is 1000x more successful than his own creation. His books are more successful now thanks to the games, but that’s just pouring salt in the wound for him.

they’ve probably earned him more than a couple of dollars, too, just from people wanting to read the source material.
and I doubt there would have been a Netflix series without the games.
