Prioritize Story, Not Fans
- Focus on servicing the story rather than fan service when adapting games to TV or film.
- This approach creates a better product that resonates beyond just pleasing existing fans.

- The key challenge in game-to-movie adaptations is making the story compelling without the interactive video game element.
- Success depends on whether the narrative can stand strong independently from gameplay mechanics.

- A well-built game world can serve as a rich chessboard for multiple stories and narrative frameworks.
- This allows placing different story types, like mysteries, within the same universe to create compelling stories.
