Fallout, the last of us? Stuck close to the games' source material and respected current and new fans.
Halo and borderlands both ignored current fans and diverted from the source material.
Could there be a correlation? Oh, no just covid
The show runners even said they didn't like the games or planned on using much source material before the show even aired and I knew right then and there that it was going to be bad.
The same shit with The Witcher, which is even more stupid because they actually had a good thing going in that first season and decided they didn't actually want to be successful.
It was insane that the big reveal was that Lilith was a siren, a fact you learn during character selection in the first game! There was absolutely no thought given to fans at all.
That's like, who she was?! I think they forgot that the first game was pretty much a non-story anyway, and somehow made it worse
