Honestly, I’m loving it. Games have some great untapped stories that have only lived on consoles for so long, it’s nice to see them taken to a new medium, like television and have average people who know nothing of them be able to participate in them. It’s great for both gaming culture and film and television. And as creators who like games, we get to be able to connect with more people on topics because those topics become more mainstream.
Completely agree. It’s great to see these get made as shows.,
It’s better than just more remakes, at least these are something somewhat new (I believe the term would be adaptations?).
