      Probably too many old fart executives that “know better”, plus directors or writers with a pet project that have to drop it and work on a “stupid game movie”

      Not sure if this is a rhetorical questions, but I assume a statement like that comes from examples like the “Borderlands” movie. I’m not a gamer, but I remember seeing a lot of talk around the casting not being true to the game.
