I think there is an argument to be made that writing for video games and writing for TV/movies is different. 

But I also think it’s clear Hollywood has very little respect for video games as a story telling medium. They see these franchises as ways to cash in for a quick buck.

It’s not that different anymore though, since so many game stories are written like movies nowadays. So they’re already perfect for the big screen as is.

Yeah this argument would work for like Mario movies, but GoW and TLOU work as movies already.
