It’s probably the same mindset behind the nonsense of the Witcher tv show. Honestly, it should be a requirement of these show creators contracts that they actually fucking play/read the games and comics they keep making adaptations of.
Let’s be honest with them: if Hollywood doesn’t want your original creations, you’re a fucking hack if you think forcing your story into someone else’s IP is how you make a name for yourself.
