Why do video game adaptations fail so often, even when the source material is already beloved by millions?
In this video, @AdamDoesMovies @CodyLeachYT , and myself break down why Hollywood keeps getting video game movies wrong, from ignoring core storylines and characters to prioritizing spectacle over player experience. We explore the disconnect between gamers and studios, why fan service alone isn’t enough, and what separates the rare successes from the endless flops.
From failed adaptations to the few that finally worked, this is an honest breakdown of what Hollywood still doesn’t understand about video games—and why gamers are right to be skeptical every time a new adaptation is announced.
