Because his story is over.
Nonsense, has his whole life been told?
You can write countless more stories with him taking place before, after the Witcher series games or even during the intermissions between them, it doesn't really matter.
The canonical ending has Geralt and Yennifer riding off into the sunset. Or Triss, if you went that way. In either case, he settles down.
It was satisfying.
There were witchers for, what, centuries? Millenia? Geralt is basically the last one. There are a lot of things we don't know about the thousands that came before him.
And I care about none of the them.
The serie of games is called THE Witcher, not The WitcherS or A Witcher.
We all know who THE is, if he's not front and center, it's not a "THE Witcher" game, it's a spin-off and should be renamed as such.
It's just a brand name recognition cash grab unless they correctly use a different title.
I said it countless times, if it's not Geralt, it's not THE Witcher, and it can't be THE Witcher 4 and I will continue to say it until universe heat death unless they correctly change the title before release.

Difficult to figure out what CDPR wants by trying to distance itself from Geralt. Geralt is The Witcher, and there is no other. Geralt put CDPR on the map--suddenly they don't want to even talk about Geralt any longer? Something is wrong, there, but in the absence of information it is impossible to figure out what. Are the people responsible for Witcher 3 still with the company? The only reason Punk '77 sold like it did initially is because everyone expected the same level of expertise they saw in Witcher 3. That sort of pre-order phenomenon will not happen again, I'll bet...;)
