It's unfortunate how little foresight this man had. Whether he's an asshole or not, CDPR built their success on his works. He definitely deserves more than 9.5k for his "troubles."
The games are their work, though. Even the story is their own, although based on the world he created.
He was the one who ultimately decided how much he deserved. He thought 9.5k was enough. He never wanted royalties. These deals are never either pay upfront or royalties, he could've demanded a lower amount upfront plus royalties, but he was greedy.
He deserves nothing more than what they agreed on.
