to think he wont feel bad not getting any money while a company makes $100,000,000's. or maybe he has no problem being a doormat? he should have some respect for himself.

He won't lose anything either.

If I was a video game developper, I would love to see my character in super smash bros even if the director do not give me a penny.

Maybe the author feels the same way about his book and a video game adaptation?

if a person were to do this and not feel any negative emotion then they arent human, its called being taken advantage of.

CDProjektRED don't really need to work on novel adaptations anymore tbh.

If he wants to recreate a similar success story he could always offer the rights to his book to an up and coming studio <_<

Honestly Mistborn has always seemed like a series brimming with video game potential. In the very first book, the chapter where Kelsier was teaching Vin how to use her powers seemed very much to me like a video game tutorial. Made me think Sanderson must be an avid video game player.

Brandon already has a lot of money and he never seemed like he cared about having more. This statement is totally Brandon.

And yeah a Mistborn game was already in development by a small studio and Brandon wrote the story for it. It was cancelled.

I mean, there's being obsessed with money and then there's leaving money on the table. He'd be foolish to leave money on the table in any case.

Not if he cares more about having a video game made by this developer, and giving away the rights for free makes it more likely to happen. Nothing foolish about that.

I have a strong feeling this is a LARGE part of why he is throwing this out there at this particular time.

Brandon not only is one of the GOAT authors, but he is an incredibly humble and amazing human being.

People who dont care about money dont usually license the movie rights of their property for millions of dollars, but who knows.

The dude who made the Witcher games made a shit ton more than that he's just a self righteous ass.

Sanderson is willing because for one, he thinks it's good for the genre overall, and for two, it would mean a HUGE spike in his book sales, so he'd be getting plenty of compensation.
