"You can't just have Geralt for every single game."

I mean... Yes. You literally can.

Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby... You can create infinite video games with the same main character over and over again. Its like an infinite money glitch if the character is popular and well liked.

The difference is that none of those characters had their stories wrapped up.

Geralt's story was wrapped up in Witcher 3. That was the whole point.

What happened to him in the end? I remember her sacrificing herself to the winter, but all I remember is Geralt living and then the post game DLC. Maybe I got the really weird ending, haha

There were multiple endings depending on the choices you make throughout the game. Same for the two DLCs.

The 'good' endings were in the base game she confronts the winter and succeeds, returns to Geralt as a father figure, and lives on as a witcher. Then in the Blood & Wine DLC, Geralt basically retires in his own vineyard.
