Annapurna is Annapurna and is already "weird". But noticing a lot more push for video games as film. And not just the nonsense of shit like Rampage and Borderlands but stuff like Remedy-verse and El Paso Elsewhere as well as Blumhouse getting involved as more of a publisher (?).

We are probably in for a bad time because... yeah. But I am optimistic. Because Remedy (heavily involved rather than just licensed) and Xalavier Nelson Jr and the like are REALLY good at taking advantage of the medium to tell their stories and... their stories are actually pretty okay as stories with a LOT of character work.
